2008 Mustang Cobra Jet I saw a model a few years ago at the NNL Nationals outside of Toledo, Ohio and really fell in love with graphics, but I was unable to locate who made the decals. I even took a photo and started to make the design, with the idea that I would print my own decals. Fortunately, Slixx decals produced a set in 2013 that I ordered online. The real CobraJet is a twin turbo ready-to-run drag car and I took some liberties in building this version. The car was a kit-bash of the Revell Mustang and Shelby kits.
