67' Shelby Mustang GT500 Eleanor PROGRESS

[Honoturtle]

Well, you know me, my weak spot is that I can't seem to stick to one car at a time, but I been working on a 67' Mustang to make it look similar to the one in the movie "Gone in 60 seconds." This is all I got so far. I decided to work on this car after watching the movie and seeing other Eleanors on this forum.

Pic of the top, trunk cut our and the start of the front overfenders

Pic of the front so far, next to the real thing, still a lot of shaping to do on the top grille as well as the bottom.

Pic of the rear light conversion, along with sanded bumper, still requires putty work for the spoiler and to cover up the exhaust outlets.

All comments and critisim is appreciated, even with the slightest things

That's the second project of yours that i also want to do! Nice work so far, it looks like the front bumber is all bent, is it supposed to be like that or is it just the pic???

Looks like a good project...keep us informed

[barnabei]

I think it's maybe the pic since I just slipped it into the scanner to get a pic real quick, cause I'm still not sure what part of the bumper your talking about, anyways thanks for the comments.

Yup it's a 67' AMT model, the car is not in the best quality but it's a re-mold of an older kit, I can tell because it's way more detailed than the newer kits. The engine blocks even got the cylinder "holes"(not sure on the proper term) molded into it even the engine and transmisson numbers are present, but I don't plan to use that motor anyways, I plan to drop a 427 Cobra Jet motor into it!
Thanks for the comments!

I had the same kit,i tried to do the same thing,make it lok like elanor,but i didnt know how to make body kits(i still don't,i need to expirement with epoxy putty...)it was a nice silver,i even had the nitrous instaled,and it had a rollcage,the whole thing is stripped right now because i decided to take it to school and some people dicided to see how strong glue is so the pulled of my carburator 1 rim and the friekin bumper,if i wasnt ashamed of the car,i would post pics

Started the spoiler yesterday, just needs some putty and a bit of shaping on the side parts


Of course, commets and critisism is appreciated!

Looks good so far. So I guess there is no kit yet for this car? Oh well, I shall wait and se if they make one. That project is gonna be too much scratchbuilding for me.

Looks nice, I know what you are talking about when you say "cylinder holes" because my 1967 AMT "Muscle car" Fast backs block had them aswell, pity that you put the cover over them, maybe they are a good thing if you do a mechanics shop sort of diorama....could leave one of them off or something.......Well its looking good so far Hono, just dont screw it up j/k

[Honoturtle]

Thanks for the commets guys, and Lowriders4Life, don't worry I won't screw this one up..... I hope.....
