Re: MY Eleanor 1967 Shelby Mustang WIP
Thanks for your interest! Finally, I have an update for you!
The dashboard is finished. First, I painted the silver part of the dashboard. I sanded off the molded instruments and used printed gauges and acetate to do new ones. I added photoetched details to the radio, air outlet, rivets, keyhole and keys. I also used the steering wheel from the Scale Production transkit: And here´s the dashboard in place: Next, since I already installed the engine in place, there are some modifications I must do to the Scale Productions body. The body looks great. Casting is very well done and I only need to sand some details in the inner part of the body: The panel lines are good...just a couple areas to scribe a little more, but everything looks great: Windshield wipers are molded in the body. I will sand them off to add photoetched ones: The engine compartment panels are molded with the body, so I will cut and add them to the chassis first. This way, I can add the details I want to the panels: That´s it for the moment! Next time, I will show you the finished engine area! Thanks for watching! |

Re: MY Eleanor 1967 Shelby Mustang WIP
Finally, the engine compartment is done!!
First, I added the brake booster and started to route the wiring and plumbing to the correct position: Next, I placed the engine compartment panels in place and added the starter and battery wiring: And here's the engine area finished! Everything is wired and connected. I scratchbuilt the shock absorbers heads over the engine supports and added radiator detail (you can see a little tube in the center of the carburator, that is a guide to put the air filter in place at the end of the build): That's it! Here's how the model looks so far: Now it's time to prepare the body! Thanks for watching! |

Re: MY Eleanor 1967 Shelby Mustang WIP
Beautiful work Sam!
May I ask what Semi gloss paint brand you use? It looks to be smooth and perfect. |

Re: MY Eleanor 1967 Shelby Mustang WIP
First of all, happy new year everyone!
Finally, after some family time, I did some progress with my Eleanor! The Scale Production body is very clean, and proportions look good. Only minor sanding is required: The only pieces required from the AMT kit are the rear bumper and tail lights: Is VERY important to clean all resin parts to eliminate any mold release agent. I use a mix of bleach and laundry detergent: After cleaning the body, I scribe the panel lines. I want to be sure they will be there after paint/clear: Next, I opened holes to mount the side mirrors and door locks: I sanded off the molded windshield cleaners and opened holes for new cleaners and engine bay supports: And the body is ready for some primer! I applied Tamiya's grey primer as a guide to find imperfections. I had to fill a couple holes and sand some areas in the rear of the body: Next, I applied another coat of primer. While I was waiting for the final primer coat to dry, I cleaned the wheels (I opened holes to add aluminum lug nuts): I was happy to know that ZERO paints included the Eleanor paint in their catalog. I have been using this brand of paint and clear for a long time now and I get excellent results every time: The body looks GREAT with the ZERO paint!! I like to apply 5 or 6 light coats and 2 heavier coats. I really like the final result (You can see my cat supervising the photo shoot): That's it for this update! Next, I will place the black racing stripes in the body. Thanks for watching! Last edited by sam01contact; 01-14-2014 at 12:29 PM. |

Re: MY Eleanor 1967 Shelby Mustang WIP
Can't wait to see the stripes and clearcoat on this beauty! Very nice details on the engine and interior. Still one of the best car movies I've seen!
Kris.
