67' Shelby Mustang GT500 Eleanor PROGRESS

[ProSStreet]

nice work keep it up!

BUMP! Hono, you did anything else, btw, why's this not in the in progress section?

And also i believe the gt350 has a front bumper made like "Elanor's "


Or at least closer than the 500

The front bar used on the movie cars is a custom fabrication, it looks to have been based off the GT350R front bars. These were actually too small to fit to the newer mustangs.

Very nice work Honoturtle! Good thing you bought the GT350 kit and started work off that, Or I'd have to throttle you for using terrible parts from the start!

[Frazmanone]

Wow Great job on the build up. I'm liking the GT350 tails that you got. They do look better than the Cougar ones. I would pick those up excep I alredy have too much money wrapped up into mine. I was going to do Eleanor but I want to make it my own. Check out my progress in the WIP thread.
Keep it up you are doing great.

anymore progress on this one yet?

[D[X]P]

Iwant more progress pics

[Honoturtle]

Whoa, didn't relize this thread was recieving attention. Anywho, I did a few body mods before I put the car away, but haven't done much. For new information, I got a 427c.i.d. Ford engine from Tonioseven several months ago for this car, and maybe this thread will give me the inspiration to revive the project soon, rather than later.

I guess I'll keep you guys updated.

Does anyone know what rims can be used and where to get them - that are similair or the same as the rims used on Eleanor??

[Orion37170]

There were Halibrand wheels used on Eleanor. You can use any Cobrawheels for that,e specially those from the Revell Drag King Cobra. I bought some photoetched at perry's in 18in cause i think all the others are to small for used on Eleanor

[Bloodhound]

The photoetch wheels that come with the fujimi GT40 lemans cars are also very nice and come with some nice wide rubber, definately worth the money to get them.

My first attempt at doing a kitbash. Thought some of you might get a kick out of my eleanor attempt. She's not 100 percent yet, I'm still looking for a billet side view mirror in the right scale to use...

Use this link... If you back up a directory there are others as well..

Love the car. Loved the movies too. I have a question: Has anyone ever done the original Eleanor? It just popped into my mind while lookin' at this thread.

TOO BAD it isn't mine!!!!!!!!! I'm pretty sure the guy who's making this used the Gt-350 kit which comes with the correct rear lights, but his spoiler seems smaller than the actual car.

How can i get in touch with the guy who made this?
