Tool Extension possibilities

[Drake69]

Yes... AND the different motors as well....

Round 2 could tool up a 4 door Belvedere off their excellent Roadrunner kit, and give us a proper base for an Adam-12 car.... reissue their '90's issue '57 Chevy with a new 4 door shell and interior sidewalls and appropriate seats... and their '67 Impala as a four door for Supernatural fans.....Revell could dig through their molds and get the rest of their Monogram and Aurora kits back on the shelves, especially the Tom Daniels stuff..(yeah, I know, they can't easily retool them into anything "new")

For trucks: The Revell 50 Ford F1 into a 52 F1 shouldn't be too hard. The AMT 55 Chevy truck would be a nice 55 GMC. The Monogram 40 Ford truck and the Revell 29 truck would be nice with the stock parts back in them. Monogram's 77 GMC would make a nice Jaws Blazer. The Chevy Rescue Van would be nice with the window option again and the Dodge Van could be backdated to the original 73ish version, ideally with the window option again.

Maybe some TV tie-ins: Pretty much any mid to late 60s Chevy Camaro and Belairs. They were used in Bewitched. I think I Dream of Jeannie used Pontiacs. A stock non-T/A Firebird and the Monogram 77 Chevy or GMC stepside could be a Rockford father and son set.

The S/H Torino could be cool with one of the Revell NASCAR chassis under it. If they did the Mercury variant it could be David Pearson's 76 Daytona winner.

Sorry about the slant six, I was thinking of one for a base model, not an AAR.

Could we maybe get all the optional parts from the 1990's Revell 1940 Fords in One Box?

I'd like to get some of the Hop Up parts in the 40 Standard.

It would be nice to see AMT do a 60-63 Falcon two door and wagon based on their Ranchero. Since Revell did a nice 66 Chevelle wagon, maybe they could do a stock hood and all the parts to build a replica stock wagon. The Monogram 40 Ford pickup would be cool with the parts to build a stock truck.

One thing that I'd like to see from revell with the 49 Merc' tooling (if it were up to me, of course) is a stock bodied Mercury, unchopped and all that. That way, it could be built as a resto-rod or even be chopped by the individual. Personally, I don't really care for the chop job on the Revell Mercury as I think it looks kinda weird

A nicely detailed '49 Mercury engine to go with that would be nice, with options for stock, or period speed parts.

Now that I think about it, could I combine the chassis and interior of Revell's 49 Merc' with the Body of AMT's Mercury? I think I read something about doing that, but I don't remember what it would entail.

In theory the AMT body should just plop onto the Revell chassis but it depends on how accurate each company was! Worth a test fit for sure!
