tim boyd Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 10 hours ago, the other Mike S. said: Any pics of the prototype built yet? I haven't seen any. Round 2 has been pretty good lately about posting these types of images - ergo the Chevy II wagon and Jenkins kit images seen recently - so I wouldn't be surprised to see them do the same when the time comes with this one....TIM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr mopar Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Is there any drag parts ? or is it completely stock ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 I think it's great that they are trying to improve or correct the tooling. This can be expensive but it also shows their commitment to getting it right. Less for some to complain about also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Form Round2's facebook page: Round2 Models Favorites · 49m · Sneak Peek! Coming early next year. Sorry for the delay guys, we wanted to try and make this release as nice as possible while still using what remained of the original annual mold's parts. *see image above James posted previously* Edited December 10, 2020 by Casey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 The original kit did not include a raised convertible top. Had one been added, it would likely be included in the test shot photos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just like the original annual; stock/custom/racing. The racing version is a Bonneville streamliner-looking setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danno Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Can't wait to see your test shot/promotional build-up. If it looks half as good as the Nova SW, it'll fly off the shelves, too. ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motor City Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 I'd like to see Round2 add the unique 442 emblems and dual-snorkel air cleaner, and a rear stabilizer bar as extra pieces. We can only wish, so hopefully the resin casters are working on them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevenGuthmiller Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 I haven't seen a lot from Round 2 that has really interested me in recent years, but this one will be a definite must have when it is released. It is also a very good sign of possible things to come! A huge thumbs up to Round 2 for taking the risk to re-issue some of these terrific old long lost annuals!!

1972coronet Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 I'm hoping that someone will make a hardtop for this bad boy . Certainly , a 4 door body can't be far behind --- the B09 sedan ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
