Straight box stock build with plug wires. Picked it up at a flea market for $6 untouched. Boy was I woorried about those 20 plus year decals. I am happy with the way it turned out as I built I don't know how many of these a s a kid. This one came out mush better. Enjoy.

Another great one Chris!

Did you do anything special with the kit decals or apply as normal? By that I mean did you clear the decals in case of cracking?

I really want to get a hold of the JPS Mustang kit. The black and gold always look good to me. I hope I can build it just as nice as yours when the time comes.

Oh yes this is nice, of course right? :rolleyes: and Scott's one of my racing idols so this is nice.

Indead.I never saw one of those models.

You never seen this model or any IMSA models? or IMSA at all? Please let it not be the last one?! ;);)

nice work man. that is a great looking car. for old decals, they came out really nice.

i have 10 or 12 of those IMSA mustangs. need to get busy and build one. if it would come out as nice as yours, than it would look great in my collection of pigs.

chris, you do some excellent work. keep on posting. :lol:

Thanks guys. I just love this kit. Also have the 7-11 and the Folgers version of the IMSA cars. I am planing on doing the

7-11 Mustang but worried about the decals. They seam opaque, to much blleed through for me. If I can pick up another set it will get built.

Dave my man, if you decide to paint them stripes you are a saint and good luck. The decals were very stiff. So I busted out the blow drier and the micro sol and got to it. The old glue I had to strip off so to speak in warm water and use micro set to get them stubborn decals to set. I love these type of cars.

Nice job Chris. Watch out some of those Monogram decals can be very brittle, I remember the 7-11 decals were very bad. There old decals also had to have allot of execess glue cleaned off the top of the decal.

Beautiful job, I just got a factory sealed one and was worried most about the decals, but they look fine. I couldn't believe there were no tire maks on the glass either. These were great kits, wouldn't it be nice to see Revell reisuue some of the old road race kits.

Back to your car Chris, Very nice job, Clean work.

Happy Modeling, Vernon
