In case you missed it, Mike posted this earlier today:
So, the cat is out of the bag. Rick and I have been working on this for a few months and finally it's official. Salvino JR has purchased, and is now in the possession of most, but not all, of the Monogram Nascar kit molds from 1981 through about 1993 And yes, he's going to use the molds to run some future productions, so look for certain '80s Nascar kits to be released again. Of course the releases will be all new subjects. Rick and I are working together right now on what is coming and also decals for those kits. I'll post more news here as it's released by Rick. We've started decal art for one the first productions, but I can't disclose that until Rick makes the announcement.
I am for any new NASCAR release. I personally still have hope to see newer kits released of the current cup cars, but we shall see. I have been told “No Chance” before. I guess time will tell.

The bulk of my builds are 80’s-90’s cars so this is great news. This should speed up the 2+2 that has been rumored. It also gives me hope that the newer stuff isn’t gone forever. I just hope that the team at Salvinos can see through the “industry expert” bullshit that seems to plague the hobby.

Okay they are going to rerelease '80s & '90s kits that you can get on EBay cheap and try to get More $ out of them... yeah I know there is going to be new subject/decals. I hope they just don't sink everything into these and focus on new releases

This is great news. Maybe now I can load up on more '81-'85 Buicks and Grand Prix's which I think are two of the kits NASCAR kits ever released. New decals would be great also. Thanks for your behind-the-scenes work.
Bill
