I want to replicate this in 1/24

[MsDano85gt]

I hope this. Photobucket link works..... Its a beautiful fox body the one thing that will be difficult is finding. Rims that are exact or similar! If anyone wants to chime in let me know, what kind of rims theuy are, I want to say 80's saleen rims??

they are not an exact match but i have seen this style of rim before on a model car at hobby lobby, i am going there tomorrow and will gladly take a look to see if i can find it.

I believe there was/is an old MPC kit of this style/year with that front grill/ headlight style, but not 100% though

That is a groovy looking Stang. What year is it? We have a pretty good Mustang crowd here that can probably help you with a kit. As for the wheels, I'd peruse Pegasus Hobbies and see what you can find.

[blueoval92]

i came across these while just looking on hobby towns site. they are pretty close, will still look for that model at hobby lobby.

Here are the closet you are going to get in kit form, and as you can see, not going to be cheap

This one,the Snake Bite (red) is WAY too dang high,about average is $25-35 + S&H on either the Wild Breed or Snake Bite kits,sealed NIB,at least that's what I paid for em-and they're still averaging about that from what I see when they're on eVilbay. As for that '83 GT,that's one missing from my collection,I've missed out on those before got out budgeted,LOL!

That will be a KILLER project,I hope you get it going,I wanna watch!!!

I don't have any pics, but in my stash I have a set of 18" Ruf wheels by Fujimi that would just about match those perfectly.

[MsDano85gt]

-I have. Almost all the 80's mpc. "4 eyed" fox I've got the 83gt. Finally got a 84 annivarsary car that took forever, that is basivcally the front of the 79 pace cars or the 82 gt front end basically the same, nonetheless I've got the means for the body -I just need to round up the rims, and some saleen hash marks will be.a Sweet build.

[MsDano85gt]

Thanks for all the inputs glad the link worked - have some old mustang build pics on the bucket, but those have since bEen torn down and rebuilt

Check the Fox CBP. There is a set of those in there , but they have 6 spokes rather then 5.
