Thanks for the prompt reply. I'll be watching your WIP progress for sure, esp. since I'm a lifetime lover of the 1972 Demon (the unique grille is its most alluring feature - not to mention the blue engine with orange air cleaner). Hopefully someone'll make a new resin 1972 grille for the new MPC 1971 kit.

Where'd you get the 1972 grille ? Link, please.

No talk about the Round2 1971 Dodge Demon ?

I ordered one from Auto World and it arrived Saturday. I still have orders in from the independent hobby store I purchase the majority of my kits and supplies from; still waiting on those. The reason I'd ordered one from A.W. is simply because I'm an impatient Celt, and I was obsessing over having one in my weathered mitts. "Satisfaction is the death of desire." -
To add to the hind-section issues of this kit : how about that incorrect differential ? Should be a Dana 60 ! This is the case in the 1967 GTX / RO23 , 1967 Charger, and this , the 1967 Coronet. Swap to a Torqueflite, and the 8.75" rear is correct - not sure which is less vexing, the swap to a Dana or the swap of transmissions.

At the risk of my picking fly poop out of pepper - I agree regarding the subpar details of those rims... especially since Round2 went through the trouble to newly-tool them. Conversely : I'm sure that many will simply cover those centres with the included hubcaps, and barring that, will seek aftermarket / parts box replacements. Ne'er-the-less, a small 'issue' in the overall theme. Absolutely better than paying $1,000,000,000 for an original. -

I'm hoping that @Snake45 will chime in as well (not to diminish the others' contributions) . -

I'm rather fond of the en masse SUV's and sedans which are painted - what I call - East Berlin Grey or Iron Curtain Pearl . Talk about "inspired" or inspiring ! Bright paints on new(er) vehicles looks off to me ; resembling something like a Happy Meal toy or some-such. -

I was just wondering to myself the other day, I haven't seen anything recent from @mrmike - maybe he'll start a new project soon, I hope. , then I see no less than two W.I.P.'s here ! Not sure as to why I haven't pulled the trigger on getting one of these kits yet, especially since it's : - One of my favourite cars (G.M. A-bodies in general, but esp. the Olds) - Transmission options - Wonderfully detailed Definitely following, my good man !

"Torbie" (portmanteau of "Tortoise Shell" and "Tabby") is likely the 'proper' - and actual - nomenclature Brie's marques. Beautiful tri-colour ! Here's another Oly photo, 27-5-2014 :

Blues Festival whose entitlement was Benson & Hedges Blues Festival in June 1990. Featured many of my favourite artists / performers : - John Lee Hooker - Cab Calloway - Stevie Ray Vaughn (one of his last performances) - Dr. John And that's just from memory ! Second best ? Marty Stuart & His Fabulous Superlatives , 15-04-2022 , La Mirada Theatre . Marty - who happens to own and curate and play the hell out of Clarence White's Parsons-White B-Bender - and his band play more than Bluegrass . One of the finest renditions of the Count Five Psychotic Reaction ever ! Their version of Pretty Boy Floyd is pure dynamite ! Then there were the numerous Punk , Psychobilly, Bluegrass, Electronic, and Deathrock shows back in the late 80's / early 90's. -
