Cool Hey Eleanor! Can you come out to play?


I bought this Mustang from the builder-he's Ken Mouton of South Carolina. He showed up at our model car show this past weekend w/a list of his models he was selling. I ended up w/six cars, a seriously emptied wallet, and a new album of pics to show off his work. He's a seriously gifted builder, he builds models of cars I really dig. And sells them. Cheap. I couldn't resist. Here's the first one.

It's a combination of an AMT '67 Mustang and a Dodge Viper. It has the Viper engine, Viper Chassis, even a Ferrari 512TR transaxle. Fujimi rims, and tons of custom bodywork.

Oh my! I have the parts to make one of these! But I wouldn't be able to sacrifice the Viper engine to a Ford, also wouldn't have the skill.

Yes, that's what he used. And they're all aligned perfectly, the holes on the hood are symmetrical. Amazing stuff. It's fully wired and plumbed, even having a hose running from the fuel filler to the angled fuel tank behind the seats/in front of the transaxle. Brake lines too.

Thet's an incredible model.

Not a huge muscle car fan but that must be one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen (on wheels anyway!!)

OMG...

::gets back in chair::

Except for the color scheme, which does rock, that is a masterpiece. Kind of gives me an urge to make an Eleanor for myself...

Thats one gorgeous model and a stunning Mustang. I would never have contemplated buying other peoples built models, further more i don't think i could bring myself to sell them!

I want to see more of his stuff please, what else you get?

I'm not convinced about the choice of colours, but the rest of the model is awesome. This guy is obviously very talented ... lucky fella

Why doesn't he join the forum? We could all learn a thing or to from his amazing work. Could you post some pics of the other cars that you bought from him?
