(FINISHED) Jim Nave # 32 Mustang late model

[Bob P.]

This is a shelf replica of the number 32 Ford Mustang, late model, driven by Jim Nave.
He raced at Port Royal, Bedford and other western Pa. tracks. He had many wins with this car. Powered by a 427 ci big block Ford.
There were at least two versions of this car, the first had leaf springs on the rear. The second car was a C&F chassis with coil springs front and rear.

I used a Ford Nascar kit for the build.
Mustang body provided by John 2 on the forum.

ANOTHER GREAT SET OF DECALS BY GREG HOLLAND
Parts from Big Donkey resin. Tires, wheels, seat, valve covers and air cleaner.

Restored version of the original car.

Really turned out GREAT!!

Looks spot-on Bob! Those rear tires "musta" really got a bite! Reminds of those referred to as "Big Jalonies" back in the day.

Thanks all for the comments.

I had a little help from David, in getting the wheel base and fender cut outs correct.
