i saw an episode or rides that was talking about the company that actually makes the eleanor. they said the original one from the movie had 16" wheels, and a fake side exhaust. the company who makes them now does everything right and functional all the way to the side scoops really cooling the back brakes. how
I have to say that I cant agree with you more on how most of the "Elenor" cars I have seen look like ass and just dont quite make the grade compared to the actual movie car. Theres always somthing off about the other cars and I cant ever really pinpoint what it is but it "just aint quite right". I hope you are a man of your word and take your time to get it right cause Ive been waiting to see one and say "yep, thats it, nailed it". Are you a bodyman by trade cause it seems like you know what you're doing?
Awesome build, what will you be doing for the drivetrain?
You have quite a project underway but after watching the build on the 4.6 Cobra R intake I have no doubt it will look exactly like the movie car.
subbing to follow the progress - great build! You are doing everything right so far from the looks. I have done a ton of restorations/full builds in my life, and make the same mistake every time - never taking thw time to document the build with photos!:bash: Props to you for taking the time to do that, because once the car is all shiny, and new looking, most, if not all who look at it, won't have a clue about what it took to get there!:beer:
True craftsman! I really admire your willingness to stick with the factory original fender & make it work..... If it were me, I would have probably just purchased another fender (heck, assuming they're even available?). Please keep posting your progress - Awesome build!!!
Good luck with this project! It'd be great to see someone finally get a spot-on replica of the movie car. It certainly appears you have the skills to make it happen.
How do you convert to the Shelby taillights?
how are you doing the 67 gt550 tail lights? cutting them out and fitting the gt500 lights in?
