This is a great followup to the LX / Police car kit. This version has the skinny drag slicks from the 69 Nova in addition to the 4 regular tires in the original kit. It also has a nice and correct 6 point roll cage, cowl induction (and stock) hoods, all new Tubular front suspension, rear spoiler, Lightweight drag racing bucket seats, and Weld Drag Star wheels (one of my favorite wheel designs) and an extensive decal sheet with plenty of contingency sponsor decals. Please note, even though the box doesn't say so this kit includes all the pieces to build a factory stock 5.0 LX Mustang. Now where I would have liked to see some improvements: 1) the intake, while plenty of these cars are raced with fuel injection the race Intake setup is merely a tube that runs from the throttle body to the inner fender and disappears implying the open element (K&N style) air filter is hidden in the fender out of site. I would have rather seen a cold air box set up with the filter where you could see it or maybe an optional 4bbl intake and carb since many racers prefer this to fuel injection anyway. 2) I would also have liked to see some aftermarket headers and a set of at least Ford Racing Aluminum style valve covers since even the weekend warrior drag racers don't use the cheap parts store chrome stamped steel no name valve covers supplied in the kit. 3) Since this is supposed to be a realistic drag car a proper set of 10.50 Drag slicks or some type of DOT drag radial tire would have been nice instead of the 8 inch slick in the kit. 4) Racing Tach, it is far too small for a real dedicated drag car this kit attempts to replicate. My suggestion is buy the AMT 10.50 M&H Slick pack and a Revell 32 Ford of your choice (to kitbash engine parts with) to fill the gaps. Oh and if you also build Tuner Cars using the open element air filter from one of the Tuner Series kits from Revell and scratch building the rest of a K&N FIPK kit would work too.

after 20yr absent from building, this kit is nice an easy to easy your way back into it.

Very good kit for a basic weekend grudge racer. In a strange departure for Revell this kit uses small, individual metal axles to attach the wheels. Care must be taken to fit the axles in the wheels so they are held on securely and don't wobble. I knew I wasn't going to stick with the plain N/A 302 that comes with the kit. So I added a BNL Resins turbo in the engine compartment. I bent up the straight tubes from the part trees in the kit to make the exhaust and intake plumbing. Then I ran the tubes into the back seat to make a simulated air-water intercooler.
