I also agree on this. Bring on the re-issues

Especcially 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 Pacer

The Pacer & Ranger (Junior Series) Were Built on the Fairlane/Fairlane 500 platform!)

Just replace the FE Engine with a Y-Block!!

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.
