    Welcome aboard, Bill. It's never too late to start building, and most of the thing you know and have experienced in the 1:1 scale vehicles will translate to scale models as well. You probably already have a keen eye for which parts and kits in general are accurate and true to their 1:1 counterparts, so I'm sure you already have plenty of knowledge to share here.

    If you're using Round2's site as a guide, you'll be at least six or seven months behind. Their site is not up to date at all, and many kits they've released aren't shown nor mentioned there, but their retail arm, Autoworldstore.com , is slightly better. An internet search will pull up multiple sources for future, current, and past kit releases, so you can cross check and verify. Kits which are announced/shown do occasionally get cancelled, but very rarely after new box art is created and sent out.

    I think the SOHC Hemi parts are only included with the '70 Coronet Pro Street kit.

    I'm like you. Once I get to the point where I no longer have the desire to work on it, I trade, sell, or part it out. I'll never build everything I have ideas for, and completion isn't the end goal for me, so better to acknowledge you'll likely never finish something if you see no realistic chance of that happening.

    I think the '69 GTX Pro Street kit may have only been issued once, in 1991, like so:

    Just a heads up regarding a future product release, if anyone here likes the AMT display cases...

    Just noticed Motor City Resin Casters offers the Ace motorcycle: http://www.motorcityresincasters.com/1930sAceHendersonKit.htm

    It seems likely the stock '76 parts are gone, and the Popper kit is just Round2 reissuing the 1977 Pinto kit, but this time with only the custom building option.

    Yep, here's the other long side of the Pintera box:

    I think so. The Pintera was an April 1976 release:

    AFAIK, the 1999 Revell Chevy S-10 Lowrider 3'n 1 was the last issue to include the stock parts, and could be built as a lowrider, stock, or (Waverider) custom:

    I think this kit is based upon what remains from the pre-'79 1/25 AMT Ford Pinto annual, when it was customized and releases as the "Pintera"? Some pics of the 1/25 AMT Pintera kit below. Note the long side panel drawing closely matches the Popper's drawing, as pointed out by Rob Hall a few weeks ago:

    Yup.

    That's not possible considering how the parts are laid out, and based upon which parts are included with the stock '93 S-10 and the GMC Syclone. Many of the Syclone-sepecific parts are attached to separate runners, but not all of them. Some parts for the GMC were substituted for the S-10, so you couldn't set up the mold once and get all the parts needed for both the GMC Syclone and the S-10. Considering it took 25+ years for Revell to reissue the 1/24 Monogram Chevy Stepside pickup kit, I still have hope for the '93 S-10. Hopefully the optional Waverider parts are what was lost.

    I just zoomed in on the above image, and it looks like the wheels in the XR6 kit, both front and rear, do not have a raised lip around each "window". Is that correct? The below three Hands four-lug wheels, which I think are from the parts pack, all have a raised lip around each "window":
