Out own Rocking Rodney Rat built something cool out of one of these:

My main beef is that the MPC didn't get the shape of the quarter windows right.  The 1:1 has a gentle sweep at the rear corner that differentiates the 26-27 coupes from the earlier T's:

I'm hoping they'll reissue this one. I don't think it was ever reissued in this form although there were some spinoffs from it in the '70s and '80s.

I remember building this one, when it was newly released! Currently, I have the Buyers' Choice version of the '32Sedan/Phaeton.

Maybe they could open all the gates like they've been doing with the other Mod Stocks and see what else is left? Hopefully enough to make a full detail job out of the often-reissued '64 Craftsman.

I often wonder if the sliding inserts that form the sides of the body for the Craftsman tool would interchange with the ones in the annual tool. That would get you a long way towards there.

You Said It, Chris.

I hope they give us, all of whatever is left in the tool.

'64 Galaxie Mod Stocker, at least in the last pass, had several 'stock' parts in the box that were not listed, including the larger air cleaner, a few of the custom items, and even the switch lever for the annual kit working headlights.  Easy kitbash with common Craftsman Plus/Pro Shop curbsides to either make a replica stocker, or, to make a GN '64 NASCAR stocker.  Have no doubt the resin world will fill any gaps

I really wish they would a bit of work and retool to a 67 or a 68 barracuda, so tired of the 69s and it was just released a couple years ago.
