Those are real beauties! Curious - what class of racing is the 7-11 car?

John, Thanks for stopping by and checking out some of my past oldie but Goodie builds.
The kit was the Old Monogram 1/24 scale 1984 Ford Mustang 7-11 GTP car that ran in the IMSA series. I'm pretty sure that it won it's 1st race entered, but never won again. I'm also some what semi sure that the Ford Probe was the next Ford GTP car.

Those are real beauties! Curious - what class of racing is the 7-11 car? IMSA GTP. It first appeared as a LHD car, won at Road America. Then it became a RHD the next year. Weird or what?

Paul, I didn't know that about the wheel location. Wonder why they did that?

That's some fine work. Joe told me there are a lot of talented auto modelers here. This is a nice taste of what he apparently meant.
Neat thread, thanks for posting it.

Paul, Now that's one heck of a build. Just love it. Is this the original kit decals or Michael's from Indy Cals?
And don't even give it a 2nd thought of high jacking this post. Your build adds a great deal to it.

Your build adds a great deal to it. joel Indycals. And they were some fun to apply - not! You know how much I hate decals, lol. It was a cool paint scheme though. Weird car.
cheers mate.

Paul, You're not kidding that the car was just plain weird for its time. Must have been pretty hard for the driver to actually see the apex of the turns seating so far back.
Fora guy that hates decals and decaling, your builds constantly prove you wrong.
