Edsel-Dan Posted October 1, 2016 Posted October 1, 2016 I also agree on this. Bring on the re-issuesEspeccially one Not seen in Decades If ever after the original run!!! As for a Modern Tool chassis for your 57 Ford, Look at AMT's 58 EDSEL PacerThe Pacer & Ranger (Junior Series) Were Built on the Fairlane/Fairlane 500 platform!)Just replace the FE Engine with a Y-Block!!
Mark Posted October 1, 2016 Posted October 1, 2016 To make upgrades like new chassis or interiors workable, they'd have to make enough additional sales on an item to justify the cost. They've probably got a good idea of how many of an item can be sold before it goes into production; in fact the projected sales numbers probably figure into whether or not the thing even gets made. I can't see them doubling sales on anything by making changes like that.Just my opinion, they shouldn't do it anyway. I'd liken it to colorizing a black-and-white film. All-new items should represent the absolute best effort that can be made (no flat-spotted roofs, unintentionally chopped tops, or incorrect proportions) but the older stuff is what it is. Not to say that there's no room for upgrades, but tacking a few alterations onto an older kit won't satisfy too many people anyway.
