Very nice car. I think all the mods are great looking! Wish I had the cash to do the same thing.

I want to know where he got the front grill and valance.
that is pretty much the idea I was going for eventually.
Where did he get the shaker set up?
How is the coil pack mounted?
I gotta talk to this guy!!

Eleanor to me will always be a mustard yellow '73 Mach 1. Real stunts done by real amateurs in real production cars.

do you mean the body itself is finished... cause i dont see a rack and pinion..
i was looking for the steering shaft to header clearance... it doesnt really remind me of gone in 60 seconds although it looks really nice..mabye a level side profile picture would make me see it differently.

Looks like he may have it mounted inside the wheel well, judging by the way the lines from the master cylinder are run.

I will admit that I do like some aspects of this car, the interior mostly, and the shaker is quite nice. Aside from the obvious ick factor of some of the lesser eleanor factors, it's a nicely done car.

I want that side exhaust setup. They did an absolutely amazing job on that car.. I was looking through the pics, finding the things that are visibly custom, and man there are a bunch of things.

That's awesome. Now this car needs to be in Gone in Sixty Two Seconds, staring that guy from the transporter and featuring a 50 minute long car chase with a huge jump at the end.

Nice job, grill and bumper work looks nice.

Is that an original shaker assembly? Have much problem centering it and dealing with the limited hood height?

I also had issues with the air cleaner hitting the top of the Duraspark. Did you have any issues with the MSD, I suspect it may be smaller in diameter.

Great looking car, and obviously a huge amount of work and money involved.

What I find interesting is that the MII has such a "classic" shape that it looks good in many of the early Mustang designs. Ford itself saw enough similarity in the Mach 1 and GT-350 to duplicate those, and the "Eleanor" look is more of the same. I'm still looking for a good "Bullitt" clone done on a MII.

Try the same on any of the 3rd Gen Mustangs...
