shelby gt500 help???

[brady_381need72c10]

does anybody know where i can find the wheels for the shelby gt500!

[rsxse240]

those particular wheels are late model aftermarket 18 inch wheels, and to my knowledge, no one makes them for 1/24-1/25 scale. If you want original 15 inch wheels like what came on the car back in '68, I'd look to the shelby cobra kits, or the GT40 kits as they are the same style as the ones in the pic, but the correct size for the year. If you WANT the bigger wheels you may try looking at some 1/18 scale diecast kits of the cars I previously stated, as they might be pretty close to what you see on the elenore car, but the lug pattern will be WAY big.

No, several builders have made replicas with various Mustang models as a basis, but there have been no kits.

and another question popped into my head so i need to ask it before i forget it!
what would be the perfect size of styrene to make the grill?

I implore you, go to the Muscle Car and Street WIP forums and search, you will find a multitude of Eleanor builds with each builder showing methods they followed to replicate the various aspects of the car, including the grille.
