  1. It's possible that what the Walmart employee heard may have been heresay based on second or 3rd hand information as to Walmart forcing kits to be produced in China. Maybe someone from Round 2 who has been there for a long time can substantiate this?
  2. I remember when we owned a 79 Pontiac Grand Prix; the tires on that were BF Goodrich Lifesaver XLM's size P205-75 R 14. This Grand Prix had a 301 v8 under the hood. That's probably the size tire that was used on the G-body cars through the 80's .
  3. Looks good. You used the Revell/Monogram 69 Superbee chassis? Who did you get the body from?
  4. Just saw this video on youtube. This one collector has a very impressive model car and kit collection with also original store displays, even gas powered planes and cars.
  5. Hopefully one of those projects being worked on is an all new 67 Ford Galaxie kit.
  6. Was the red on the sides of the body a decal you used or painted?
  7. Shouldnt be difficult, Revell 68 Landy Charger has the slicks and front skinny tires, Cragers, headers that can be used on the MPC 68 Coronet except the decals are incorrect. Alot of the racing parts are found as well in the Coronet kit.
  8. Since Round 2 has released the MPC 68 Coronet R/T kit, what are the chances of them doing a Dick Landy version?
  9. I went as well. Good swap meet. Lot of good deals on built ups and sealed kits.
  10. Thanks for posting the pic of the polar expedition version. Yes. I remember that box art now. I noticed the info stating it's a 1967 issue. Looks like this Lancia diecast was available for a number of years. I got mine around 75 or 76.
  11. Has anyone read anywhere about Round 2 announcing the release of the Un Real Edsel kit sometime in 2025?
  12. Here is HPI Guy's build video on the upcoming Olds Cutlass F-85 Streaker AWB car.
  13. Here is a diecast Fulvia I got many years ago while I was vacationing in Italy. Here are some pics of it. The hood does open showing the engine. Also, the trunk opens too. Will add those pics later today. The car came painted with snow depicting running a rally through the Arctic.
  14. I saw the pics. Good news on the 65 Barracuda. That news was pretty surprising. Didn't think or consider that one to ever be released again. Thanks to Steve G. and the rest of the Round 2 people for bringing back these oldies.
  15. If anyone went today, how was it? What was displayed at the Round 2 tables?
  16. Very nice. Looks good. Which kit did the rear chrome steel wheels come from from?
  17. Round 2 stated the next 68 Coronet kit will be a drag car. Not a Landy Coronet, but the Feverbee 68 Coronet.
  18. With all the interesting releases of kits that Round 2 has been putting out ie; 68 Coronet, 63 Ford truck and soon to come out 64 Old's F-85 awb Streaker; what are the chances that the AMT 67 Ford Galaxy is not too far away?
  19. That's good news. Looking forward to this one. Thanks for the update.
  20. Getting this topic back on track with the 72 Maverick. What versions of the 72 Maverick will we be seeing? Maverick Grabber or a drag version? Maybe both?
  21. How many wins did Richard Petty get in his Superbird? Is there a good, credible source that shows this? Thanks. George
  22. The High and Mighty was the first drag car the Ramchargers group built.
  23. Round 2 mentioned that the release of the Streaker awb kit would be the end of this year.
  24. A while back there was news of Moebius releasing a 72 Ford Maverick sometime in the future. Anymore updates?
  25. The demand is huge for the services and products you put out. It's the journey that it takes to service the demand. Maybe looking into hiring out additional people to take on the work could get you back on track in a timely fashion and decrease the turnaround times it takes to get finished product to your customers. It takes money to do this, but your business grows and becomes stronger. Business has to adjust to the demands of the marketplace. I imagine you've considered this. This could be a major turning point for your company.
