Stovebolt

 I picked this up today. Might be old news to some of you but I haven't had one in a while. Classic kit, lots of cool parts. I like it. I picture me doing a box art drag version build with it.

Whitewalls, pad printed tire lettering, tinted glass, times are good!

Thanks for posting this, will definitely have to get one. It will look good next to the '36 Ford half built and covered in dust...  or maybe I'll get both finished.

Such a nice old kit - built it when I was a kid and it had no major issues I could recall. And I bet you could cut down that custom grille to make a decent LaSalle unit...

Thanks Ron. I think some time we take these old kits for granted. Thus, missing all the cool up dates as mild as they may be.  Colored glass, huge decal selection. Pad printed tires as Jon pointed out. And just all the neat parts we may have forgotten aboy through the years. Love that clear hood.

It maybe old news. But, I always appreciate a good review like this.

More info here, if you're interested:

I picked one of these up and was very impressed by the contents.  This is one of Round 2's "A-team" efforts.

Fellas,

 Not a complaint but, I don't see the "Salt Flat Racer" part(s) in the pictures. I recall that the kit in question was a variant of the gasser but didn't include front fenders, instead a "filler piece" of plastic was included for each side to streamline the front of the car.

Also included in that issue was one pair of tall narrow two piece tires for the rear of the car. I believe he tires were actually the front tires that were included in the reissues of the Willard Battery Spl. Indy Roadster...

MAny years ago I had the Convertible version of this. Or PArts of it.

It was Hot-Rodded and could not be restored to stock

I got rid of it a year or 2 after getting it

It was ??, what, Maybe 10 years before either version was re-issued

I would Still love to get the Wally's 'Value Decorated' issue of the Convert!!>

I will definitely look at this one.

I wonder how long before the convertible is re-issued.

I see the Boot cover in the parts pic!!
