Does anybody recall which issue this was? I can think of at least one person who would be a worthy contributor to such a project. Back on topic, was this shot taken at AMT's Birmingham, MI headquarters?

Probably Fremont Racing Specialties? This pic is old, but IIRC Fremont has many/most of it's bodies back in production for at least a year or two now:

I'll wait until they hit the discount circuit. The Cragar S/S wheels look decent (maybe even good?) and you know Round2 is including a set of "new" tires, too. There are some interesting body lines, too, so you can always use bits and pieces for a custom, or start with the Tiger Shark body and go from there.

The 1/25 Revell '66 Chevelle Wagon kit includes a bench seat:

It was rubber band powered, right? Was it the same stand as found in the MPC 1965 Dodge Monaco kit, as in the same one which migrated from the Monaco to the Tiger Shark?

Just the '57 Fantasy Parts Pack, so...kinda? I watch them to see which kits Autoworld still has on the racks behind Chad, really. Between Round2's facebook and Instagram pages, and other online retailers, the info about which kits are coming and what they contain is usually available before these monthly videos.

I can't honestly tell if those are true vintage tires or re-pops of some sort ( I think the former?), but that truck has "it". You could fit at least, what, three Crosleys sideways on that bed?

The boxy shape, white paint, and still wearing the stock wheel covers? What's not to love? My eyes are instantly drawn to the door bottoms to check for tell-tale signs of rust...#midwestproblems

Technically a friend saw this, then again on the news...oh dear.

I love that something that old (Revell Attempt 1 body buck) is being transported by something equally as old. This is exactly what it's all about, right there. Good on both of you, for the benefit of us all.

I have no problem with anyone purchasing kits and reselling them for a profit. It's the "RARE" statement which is dishonest, for lack of using words which wouldn't pass the automatic censor. If someone thinks they can sell a turd of a kit for $30 which didn't sell for $16 in a store, well... Looking at the kits which were cleared out, they're the kits which most of us would thought "Why is Round2 reissuing THAT kit!???" when first reissued.

Round2 has preliminary release for the 1/25 scale MPC Tiger Shark kit, so pending further info and finalized box art, I thought it'd be a good idea to get the ball rolling, so to speak. It's an interesting car with an asymmetrical design, and though the Tiger Shark is a re-work of the earlier Car Craft Dream Rod, this kit is likely all that is left...so enjoy it. I suspect Round2 will be including the same pad printed Firestone tires found in the recently reissued Barris Ice Cream Truck and Tansy Vending Machine kits to match the redlines on the real car, but otherwise expect a cleaned-up version of the RC2 reissue.

Chad's back!

It's white glue, so easy to pick out as there is very little bond strength-- just enough to keep it in place. Stab it with a pin or needle, pry a tiny bit, and out it should come.

I'm a big fan of Sean's work. Good news, indeed.

Me, too. Just the wheels, tires, and suspension pieces alone would be great to have in kit form. I've always liked the trucks with "work" level painted trim, too.

I'm betting we'll see it reissued within the next year or so.

Even easier to use white glue then, IMHO. You can control the size of the "drop" easily, and thin the glue a bit with water as necessary, too. Allow it to flow into the hole, and allow surface tension to have the glue "stick" to the walls/side of the hole/depression.

Kijiji find?
