Thanks for reissuing all kinds of cool kits from a time that I was not around for! I love building all of those old kits!

Any chance the old ’65 Ford Fairlane 500 Sports Coupe will be reissued at some point? Last I saw, it was a “modified stocker” with virtually no usable stock parts left in the kit.

Also, any of the MPC stock body ’77 Mustang II tool left out there? Or, was it forever changed when it became the Firefighter drag car? I always liked the MPC body over the AMT body.

Thanks!

Jesse

I am curious as to the status of the Kenworth W925 molds,It’s common knowledge that the molds were altered to produce the T600 truck but are the changes irreversible,? The W925 as well as the Alaskan hauler, Movin’ On truck and Challenge/Cooke mixer versions are all very pricey in the collector market would do well for Round 2. Jut my two cents worth!

If memory serves, the inserts for earlier Impalas are gone.

Are the inserts still in existence for the MPC 1971-1972 Impalas? I know the chassis, engine, dashboard and a bunch of other parts are in the last issue of the 1976 Caprice. Is this a possible project or is the mold too modified to back date?

Do you know if there was ever a kit made for the 73 Dodge Polara? Or is there a list of all the annual cars ever produced?

2. Is there any activity going on designing ‘new’ tooling for amt or Ertl kits (that type or style of kit), or do you guys ‘only’ make models from old tooling? I ask because I’m a Mechanical Designer with over 15 years experience and would LOVE to design new tooling for NEW big-rig kits. They stopped making new kits in what, late 70’s? It always said ‘see our growing line-up of trucks’ on the vintage kit boxes, and again on the “retro” deluxe re-issues,,, but it sure would be nice to start that “line-up” back up!!! I have many ideas for new trucks that were never made, and I am currently out of work, because this economy is so bad from shipping everything overseas that I’m not working in my related field. I have been building models from AMT, ERTL, MPC, MONOGRAM & Lindberg etc. since I was 7 years old, and have been for 37 years now; It’s always been a dream of mine to design new truck kits (or cars) for “amt” or ERTL,,, but since they are no longer a company, it’s probably a vain dream huh?

lastly, I want to thank you all at Round 2 for making the old kits again!!! I am so happy to be able to buy and build the kits I was never able to get once I really got into them. I invite you to check out my truck line on my Google+ page (found in my profile). I actually feel like I do allot of advertising for you and have some of my trucks posted on HobbyLinc.com as well.

Thanks again!!!
Gary

I have not personally heard the story about the ’59 Buick being in England and have no info whatsoever. So, I can’t really comment one way or another. With the tooling changing hands several times over the decades, not a lot of info has survived to be passed on.

Unfortunately, we’ve looked but haven’t found any inserts for the ’63 Nova Wagon. It’s disappointing because I really like that kit too.

Just bumping this question up:

Any truth to the story that the ’59 Buick molds survive in England in the hands of a small firm that was going to make a limited run? And were there any other old AMT molds sent over there when the company was tied up with Matchbox?

And a new question, re the ’63 Nova wagon – are any of its other molds (interior, chassis, engine) still existing? If so it seems that the body could be saved in the same way the ’65 GTO was by restoring the rear wheel wells and re-engraving the door lines and trim. Just try to get one of those wagons now for less than $100!
Thanks,
Chris
