Had a great little talk with the guys at M2 the other day and have to say that the Muscle Cars are VERY COOL!

Got to hang out with the prototypes for awhile and had to snap some spy photos:

The guys just kept telling me how much better the production cars were and how the protos were beat up from traveling as so on... Really!! Then the rest of the diecast world is not ready for cars this GREAT at this price!

Release 1 is now up for pre-order on our website and IT WILL BE SHORT!!

There will be a Black and Gold 70 Chevelle SS Chase Car and a Chrome Super Bee Limited Edition.

Also I put up Pre-Order info for Wave 2 witch will be 3 NEW CASTINGS in 2 Colors!

Don't wait order them now to make sure you get them.

Have Fun,
Fred

Yeah the RL's look wierd, just a bit thick. I may just turn them around. Any Chryslers in rel 2?

The redlines look OK to me -- I appreciate that they are actually ROUND and not wobbly. :freak:
That Roadrunner is definitely coming home to my house at some point. :thumbsup:

I like the cars overall but echo the comments about the redlines. The red stripe is too thick. I realize these are prototypes and hope they made them thinner on the final copies. Also, I'm not sure I like the body color under the hood on the purple Super Bee. Overall, I'll wait until I hold one in my hand to make my decision about adding these to my collection. Thanks for the photos Fred!

These do look nice but something is missing on the Chevelle.....the characteristic bulges on the front fenders and 1/4's look to be absent. Is it me or is a 70-72 Chevelle the most impossible car to get correct in any scale other than 1:1? Nobody has ever quite gotten the 1/4 panels and rear roof section quite right, not JL, not HW, not MPC or AMT even years ago. For some reason, the shape of this car's rear 1/4's never look right in a scale model.

Wow, good eye Jim! I didn't notice that untill you said something.
Seems strange they would omitt such a fairly prominent charactoristic.

Forget the redlines, those dogdish rims look awesome! but why is the scoop flat black, and the rest of the hood is body color? I hope they catch that and make the whole hood black like it's supposed to be...

Not gonna get the hood right on the Road Runner?
I hope they fix it, it'll be the only 1/64 '69 1/2 RR in existence.:thumbsup:
