I started this last year hoping to finish for the Philly NNL show.  I did not finish in time and shelved it until last a few weeks ago and despite the show being delayed I dedicided to finish it once and for all.  The decals (from Renaissance) began to fall apart so I have a little touching up to do.  If you have ever built these IMC GT40's they are a bear to get to fit together on a good day.  The front will not stay down unless held so I may do a little trimming once I figure out where the obstruction.  It's unfortunate Fujumi did not go a step further with their kits (No engine and nothing opens) as the bodies are much more accurate than this kit that is over 50 years old.  The only extras I added were the rear clear scoop and carb intake.

Sorry for the glare.  The spare tire does not fit in the front.  I may try a skinnier one.

Excellent build! I too have this kit, two actually, one labeled IMC and the other labeled Union, I think! To nervous to attempt the as yet! Good job on your!

Thanks guys.  Here's another project that I experimented with to do a MKI with the updated 66 style front end using the "hood" from a Fujumi kit(like the green car).  I have since smoothed out the rough edges.   Since I'm a glutton for punishment I am going to take a crack at doing an early GT40 roadster by cutting up the IMC/Testors GT40 kit back section.  This may involve some creativity but like many of us I have more time than I was expecting to have off these days.  Pictured is the DDP models kit I saw on Facebook and that's what I would be shooting for to replicate but with of course that very tricky bundle of snakes exhaust system on a 302 with webers.
