In the Lil Gasser show rod (Buyers Choice) the box is filled to the top with parts. I found the cab and barrel parts for the Lil Mixer and chrome tree for Lil Yeller inside. Just a little bonus for that something extra.? Picture 2 shows Lil Gasser tank, Picture 3,  flip the bag, Lil Mixer parts. Last picture are parts that dont belong. Can make or repair another kit with extras.

When that kit came out it was like Christmas!!! With just a little work I was able to build a Lil Mixer.....long before it was ever reissued. LOTS of bonus goodies in that box!!

Nice show rods Dave

I noticed this year there aren't a lot of those goofy rods being issued. I have the most recent reissue of this and liked it.

I hope they come back out next year with a few of the caricature rods as I call them, love them!

R2/AMT will reissue only a few of the showrod type kits a year. There are a few more that CAN be reissued but it will be 2020 before we see them. A few of the vintage kits are gone forever and retooling them would not  get the needed ROI.....but there are still others we have yet to see.
