The pending release of M&S Hobbies Dekon Monza resin kit was the kick in the rear I needed to finally attempt to build this car. However I don't want to use the resin kit but instead do a full detail build based on the MPC kit. I have already started work on the body but I am unsure what to use for a chassis. Right now I am considering using the Revell Mustang GTO as a basis. Wondering if anyone else has an opinion or a better option to suggest.

I did look at the IMSA Camaro kit and the chassis looks very similar, if not the same as the Mustang. I have a few Mustang GTOs and only (1) Camaro kit. That's the only reason I am suggesting the Mustang.

It appears to match up pretty well and completely changes the character of the car.

Slow steady progress fitting and modifying the Revell IMSA chassis. The kit properly depicts the slight engine offset the right.
