Draggon Posted January 1, 2019 Posted January 1, 2019 No kidding Greg. This one is in my top 3 holy grails. While I've got enough spare parts to build at least 2, I'd really like to get this in fresh plastic.
FordRodnKustom Posted January 1, 2019 Posted January 1, 2019 Agreed. I have an unbuilt original with dull chrome. Sure would like a new one!

1930fordpickup Posted January 1, 2019 Posted January 1, 2019 Finding good wheels when you get one that is only parts is not easy. With the prices of these on ebay more than a few of us like this kit.

Oldmopars Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 It is funny what trips people triggers. For some this is a Holy Grail kit, more me if I found it in a LHS or flee market I would not even look at it unless it was real cheap. Now, an ERTL Transtar II 4070, I would wet my pants. We all have different interests, keeps it interesting.

bobthehobbyguy Posted January 4, 2019 Posted January 4, 2019 Hey everyone is intitled to their opinion. Doubt thus kit will ever be reissued. I think the chassis, interior and nose piece are long gone. The last reissue of the 32 sedan had a different chassis and interior. However I managed to get the complete kit a few years ago for $40. Think they can still be found.

So agreeing with a previous post, saying I personally don't like it, and then saying I understand why others do like it is now considered being negative? Please.
bobthehobbyguy Posted January 4, 2019 Posted January 4, 2019 Sorry Greg you're way off base on this. Not everyone has to have the same opinions on things or like the same subject matter.
