NYLIBUD Posted November 17, 2024 Posted November 17, 2024 (edited) I’m trying to build it into a prostreet.Mustang,missing the whole front clip and rear deck spoiler. Thanks Edited November 17, 2024 by NYLIBUD
Can-Con Posted November 18, 2024 Posted November 18, 2024 Ron, with that swirly silver plastic and sunroof, I'm pretty sure that's the remains of a Monogram '79 Indy Pace Car.
ClassicDarts Posted November 18, 2024 Posted November 18, 2024 (edited) With those taillights, it's a '79-82. Although you could adapt it to a newer m/y without too much trouble, I imagine. edit: haha, this is the second time me and Can-con have replied to something at almost the exact same time... and we're both Canadian... AND we're both named Steve!! Conspiracy?!! Edited November 18, 2024 by ClassicDarts 1

Although I did live in Dartmouth for a couple of months 22 years ago. lol @NYLIBUDI could be wrong, but I think every subsequent Monogram fox body Mustang kit was derived from this '79 style tooling. So if you wanted to put a later frontend on it (since it'd be undoubtedly be easier to find a newer one) I guess all you'd have to do is shave off the molded-in front fender extensions.

Fat Brian Posted November 18, 2024 Posted November 18, 2024 There is no other part to the spoiler on those kits. The SVO version has a piece that goes on top of the spoiler but not the pace car version.

A car that modified probably would run that spoiler anyway. Something more like the one in the Revell notchback kit would work better. 2
