MachinistMark Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Does anyone know what the build options are? If any? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 We know it's going to be a 2'n1 with one of those versions being stock, so if Dave Van wants to expand upon the second version, we're all ears. Paging Dave Van...Dave Van to the red courtesy phone... It is scheduled to ship on 11-29-12, so the first week of December looks like the street date.

MachinistMark Posted August 30, 2012 Author Share Posted August 30, 2012 Have they released the box art yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Not that I've seen, and considering the Olds is due to ship at the end of September and we just saw the box art last week, I wouldn't expect to see it until October or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thatz4u Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 It''ll make a great 50's stype custom..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Right now, you can build it in your imagination or in your dreams. I guess that's the '2in1' deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MachinistMark Posted August 30, 2012 Author Share Posted August 30, 2012 Yeah. Im hoping the 2 in the 2 in one deal is some traditional custom parts and not some nascar junk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Yeah. Im hoping the 2 in the 2 in one deal is some traditional custom parts and not some nascar junk. This is a little weird for me, but if Revell does do a Nascar version of the '57, I could actually get fired up about doing an Olds too, and a Hornet or two, maybe some others. Though I'm not a fan of the rolling advertising that Nascar has become, I really like the old cars, when 'stock car' actually kinda meant race-prepared STOCK CAR. i kind of paid attention to Nascar up until the mid '60s.

Casey Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 I would wager that the second version will be a NASCAR something, especially considering the comments from the mystery insider in the '50 Olds thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Don't be so disappointed so soon. This kit will probably be the basis for a few spin-offs for years to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Cranky Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 There goes more money, more money, more money . . . which is fine as long as they keep bringing out new quality products. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin T Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 So what I want to know is when will the molds be turned into a correct Ranchero? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie8575 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 So what I want to know is when will the molds be turned into a correct Ranchero? Or a Ranch Wagon. Or a new Country Squire. All the wagons used the short wheelbase. They do the wagons, and Paul Scopetski (owner, Spare Time Shop, Marlborough, Ma.,) will be able to retire off of me.

charlie8575 Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 IF Revell builds the Ranchero, people WILL buy....talk about a Field of Dreams... I agree. I was a bit surprised at the choice of the Tudor, but I think it might do okay. The Ranchero, though....that will be a grand slam. There are enough people that seem to want one done correctly that it could make a very substantial contribution to Revell's bottom line.

Casey Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Is that a Paxton supercharger I see to the left of the two license plate bases in the second last image above? I also see an extra pair of (rear, I assume) deeper steel wheels (and tires to go with them), a dual-quad intake manifold, and a very small sprue with only the front suspension and rearend pieces on it. It looks like there are separate fuel supply lines from the fuel pump to the carb(s), too. I was thinking the separate fuel tank part might be a concession to future modified reissues, but I think the spare tire well would pose more of a problem (and wheelbase length?) for a Ranchero or Country Squire version partially based on this tooling.

jbwelda Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 i take it at least one of those sprues, probably the one with the bumpers on it, are to be chrome plated in the production version? i always liked that body style as much or more than the GM product of the same year.

1972coronet Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Looks like Revell-Monogram is going to hit another bases-loaded home run ! I've always really liked the late 50's Fords . If a Ranchero and or Ranch Wagon is made off of this mould , I'll just burst !! Can't hardly wait for this kit to hit the shelves ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
