This is not a reissue--it's a modified version of the new tool mid 80s Blazer that came out a while back.  The box art in the first post of this thread shows a stock hood. 

Thanks good to know that it’s based off the new tool kit they recently came out with. Seeing the High roller on the box just sent my mind back to the 80’s issue of it. Never did like that hood.

Oddly Enough, I want that hood very badly.

I'd like it for a GMC pickup build I have planned.

And that Monogram Jimmy was 1/24th...was only issued once in 1980 it looks like..

Pretty well all the off road accessories on that Jimmy kit ['80s Monogram 1/24 kit] came directly from the Hickey off road catalogue. 

Hood, fender flares, wheels, headers, winch and brush guard,  , , all of it was available from them.

When I think of late model engine bays, I think of the mess under the hood of the late model Bronco.
Sure, not the same as the Mustang, but it definitely left me with a "meh" feeling. A feeling that carries on with other late models.

Man, you could sprinkle a whole roll of dimes over that engine and none of them would hit the pavement.
