Some of you who have been on other building forums for a while may remember a while back, like over a decade ago, I built an Eleanor inspired `66 Fastback. *I had another kit of the `66 lying around for years, and I wanted to do everything I feel I missed and correct some of my mistakes on the previous one. The was the intent. However, it sort of evolved to what you see here, and it turned into a decent in-between project, IMO.*
Alot of parts were used from the GT500 kit, including the interior and engine. Many parts were scratch built. Let me know what you think!

Looks primo except for the excessive outside offset on the rear rims.

I agree on this. The build looks great but the rims suck. They also have that plastic look. Is it still possible to change them ?

Thanks guys!

Yeah, I understand on the wheels. I wanted to do Haldibrands, but wanted something different than the Eleanor wheels. I actually like them on here, but I understand why someone might not like them. Do you guys think they would look better if the centers were painted aluminum? I was debating doing that. Or is it just the offset that is what stands out.
Thanks again!
