Brett Barrow Posted May 1, 2013 Author Posted May 1, 2013 No rearview, but it will have decals for the all-white car. Body will not be de-SSed, and I'm waiting to hear if there might possibly be a no-SS badge grille tooled up, but since they didn't do a rearview, I doubt it. Still doesn't bother me, I can live with it either way.
Chuck Kourouklis Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 Eh, good enough. Can cast up or use a parts box mirror like befo', can sand off SS bits. Grille might be tricky, but steelie wheels, Grumpy graphics, and a bench will make it all up 'n then some...
Rob Hall Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 The grille illustration on the new box art mock up actually kind of resembles a '67 grille more than a '66.
gtx6970 Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 I have 2 of the original stock issues and 3 of the pro street versions . Plus I just picked up a set of aftermkt decals to do this very car. So about the only thing I would buy any more of them for would be the neat box art and / OR a non SS grille. I can't think of any other popular drag version back then , although I'm sure there were some.
horsepower Posted May 2, 2013 Posted May 2, 2013 I'm hoping it's not. Real car wasn't. Pro Street kit is quite a bit different, but I think there are some shared parts. Both had the display SBC, right? Been a long time since I saw one of the originals. I hope Pro Stocks, Super Stocks, and Junior Stocks are going to be hot subjects for a while... I hope so, it'd be nice to see a '56 Sedan Delivery, ala John Diana, from Revell, wouldn't take a lot to do it either,
jjsipes Posted May 2, 2013 Posted May 2, 2013 Awesome. Between my father, brother and I we have built over 100 of these kits over the years. This will just add to the build total. Way to go Round2.

I'd like to see a lot of Junior Stock kits. I think I read more about them than any other cars in Hot Rod back in the late '60's/early '70's.
Evil Appetite Posted May 6, 2013 Posted May 6, 2013 I guess I can remove those decals off of my 'to buy' list. Any idea when this baby will be released?
gtx6970 Posted May 6, 2013 Posted May 6, 2013 Just curious,is it going to have decals to do both the red and the white versions on Grumpy's car ?
Brett Barrow Posted May 6, 2013 Author Posted May 6, 2013 I guess I can remove those decals off of my 'to buy' list. Any idea when this baby will be released? Nothing firm yet. Summer or early fall would be my guess. Just curious,is it going to have decals to do both the red and the white versions on Grumpy's car ? Yep, it'll have both versions, Grumpy's Toy I (red and white) and Grumpy's Toy II (all-white).
Casey Posted June 2, 2013 Posted June 2, 2013 I like the phantom retro box art... I'm digging the so-called "Faux-Retro" box art Sound like this one'll be packaged in the "flat" Original Art series box with the art print included, just like the '76 Gremlin and Opel GT: Retro-Deluxe 1966 AMT packaging style with all-new painting of Jenkins' Nova

Casey Posted June 2, 2013 Posted June 2, 2013 It'll be in the normal square box, no art print in this one. Oops, you're right. The painting is included on the box not in the box.
hvymtl Posted June 6, 2013 Posted June 6, 2013 Well if i have to actually sand off the emblems on the body i doubt i will get this kit that is too much like work for me . And no rearview mirror ,what are they thinking this is just crazy i will never buy another chevy II from Round 2 ever again (This is nothing but PURE SARCASM and really a joke ) but i will have at least one then i can cast the new bits and use the other decals for one of the 6 i have stashed Michael

DR JAY Posted June 8, 2013 Posted June 8, 2013 ...Great News...I've been planning to build this for a while. Now, all I have to do is find a Fuel Injected Corvette kit with an accurate looking engine (or at least an accurate fuel injection setup) to drop in the Deuce and I can await its release...
hvymtl Posted June 10, 2013 Posted June 10, 2013 Michael, this is supposed to be a Drag car, you don't need/want a rear view mirror someone might be gaining on you, & in drag racing, it's totally impossible to block & get away with it! roflmsao! Well if I remember correctly the mirror was engraved right to the front windshield . Haven't looked lately . But i really liked your reply MIchael
Chuck Kourouklis Posted June 10, 2013 Posted June 10, 2013 Yeah. Mirror was originally engraved to the windshield, then they cleaned that up right quick but never supplied a separate piece. Figgered it might be a nice thing to fix for this reissue in the same spirit they finally provided for vent windows in the '62 Pontiac - but if it's a choice between a mirror or steelies and a bench, I'll gladly snap up the latter, thanks.
Chuck Kourouklis Posted September 27, 2013 Posted September 27, 2013 Website shows as backed up to October...
Brett Barrow Posted September 27, 2013 Author Posted September 27, 2013 Looks like this kit is out, or very soon to be. Anybody pick one up yet? They're shipping to distributors right now. I should have one by Saturday, might get a chance to sneak a peek at one today.
Exotics_Builder Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 Here's the link to their instructions http://www.round2models.com/files/instructions/amt772.pdf
chachie Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 i digg the mini box it also came with for sure. I, too am enjoying this model set. there is a bench seat as well
ShawnS Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 A strange request I know but If anyone has this kit, would you please be so kind as to post a pic of the bench seats. I'm doing some research for a future project that may require me to by 3 of these kits and it all hangs on what the bench seat looks like. Thanks ShawnS
58 Impala Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 My local Hobbytown has some on the shelf, I passed on it until I know for sure what's in the kit.
Dave Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 LHS had them yesterday but it was $31.95! Revell Vette Gasser was only $23.00 So I opted for that instead. New reissue of Paddy Wagon was high too, $34.95
