WIP: Eleanor the next generation

Well, I figured I would get the thread up so no one got to my idea first. lol. I saw this car on the cover of one of this months mustang magazines. Its merely a body kit by cervini's and I may not stick to it 100% but I just thought this car look SINISTER. and trust me it will have a power plant to go with it. Not sure about paint yet, I really like the color of the car in the photos however I've already got 2 mustangs in similar colors........its kind of sad I'm a bow tie guy through and through, but I think after this I will have more mustangs on my shelf than any other GM.........oh well. on to the pictures. let me know what you guys think!

Re: WIP: Eleanor the next generation

I would drop the front a bit and add some bigger tires to the rear, that always looks good on muscle cars.

Re: WIP: Eleanor the next generation

nice!!! We should be seing this car on the streets a lot in the near future. They did a special on this car on TLC's show "Rides". Chip Foose worked with the ford motor company on this project for the sole reason of making it a factory direct car. So you may see one of these sittin on the lot at your local ford dealership real soon. great project to take on. It is one hell of a good lookin car................*Ryan*

I'm so not surprised. I wish I wasn't as backed up as I am, I'm more behind every day! So, where are the progress pics already?

It's funny...you see replicas of so many types of 'stangs like the Eleanor and the Bullit, Boss, Hertz, etc... all in 1:1. These cars are a dime a dozen now!

I never thought I'd see more than one 1/24 replica of a Eleanor...but I forsee that with this kit there's going to be a bunch!

Oh , BTW I'm already ahead of you with the build. I'm just waiting till you're almost finsihed so I can post my pics before you

gee thanks. wasn't saying that I wanted to be the only one to do it, or the first to finish it, just the first to post it up. someone else wants to do it....go ahead. if you've already got it in progress, lets see some pics!!! Mine may not be an exact replica of that kit, I plan on making some mods here and there. we will see as the build goes along. Not sure what to do about the wheels yet. I like the look of the wheels on that car.....not sure If I will stick with them or not

I don't beleive this is the car that Foose worked on. To my knowledge he hasn't worked with cervini's. If you are quoting from a magazine, you have your cars mixed up.

the foose car is similar. but different. here is a link to the Foose/Unique Performance 06 mustang that will be offered through dealerships
