Sport Suburban Posted November 13, 2010 Posted November 13, 2010 Here is another one that I have finished up recently. I purchased the Scale Productions resin transkit for this one. The paint is real automotive paint for Eleanor. It is a two stage paint that was custom mixed here locally at an automotive paint supply store (The Painters Edge, Phoenix AZ). They used the smallest metalic flake to keep it in scale. The paint codes are Dupont 44490 pepper grey met for the base coat, and 44435 for the black met stripes. I beleive he had to get pints of each. He gave me two ounces of each for my project. I don't know what he paid but I know it wasn't cheap. I detailed this one up as much as I could without going overboard. The engine is a 428 SCJ from the AMT 68 Shelby with a parts box Hillborn injection. The interior had added seatbelts and flocking. I didn't like the tires that the transkit came with so I used Pegasus # 1601 225/50r16 Bridestone tires. What do you think?
Reeves Racing Posted November 13, 2010 Posted November 13, 2010 Very nice job. I would love to build this car but I am too cheap to buy the trans-kit
Railfreak78 Posted November 13, 2010 Posted November 13, 2010 Nice one bud! I love the interior detail. Car looks great!
davyou5 Posted November 13, 2010 Posted November 13, 2010 Great Job on that Mustang! . I liked the Seats belts.
David G. Posted November 13, 2010 Posted November 13, 2010 The paint is cool, but I love your interior detail! Excellent work overall!
Matt P Posted November 16, 2010 Posted November 16, 2010 Nice build and good choice on using the smallest flake, it really looks good.
Devilsnake98 Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 I love the Eleanor, I'm a huge fan. I seen your post was on 11/2010, do you know where or if I could still buy that Eleanor transkit? I've been searching like crazy and have had no luck, any help?
Sport Suburban Posted May 24, 2011 Author Posted May 24, 2011 Thanks, I understand that this transkit was discontinued about the time I built it. I've had the kit for a few years before I finally built it.
Devilsnake98 Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 Ok, I envy you there, and I thought I've seen that it was discontinued, thanks for the info.
richcrabman Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 Ok, I envy you there, and I thought I've seen that it was discontinued, thanks for the info. Very nice model!!!.....but I'm after just the wheels.can these be purchased separately? Thanks, Rich
Mr Core Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 Nice car you've got there. On to be proud, and jealous of Interior looks great.
LOBBS Posted May 30, 2011 Posted May 30, 2011 Beautiful job on Eleanor. How was the Scale Productions stuff to work with? They've got a lot of cool stuff but I've been leary to pull the trigger as I haven't seen there stuff built up before.

I bought two of them after I had seen one in person. I was that impressed. Nice and clean casting and no flash. The only thing that didn't fall into place was the hood. I just needed to sand the sides to get it to fit properly. It was cast somewhat large and rubbed the fenders before paint.

They don't show everything they have on their site and aren't coming to the Heartland Nats this weekend so I'll probably end up ordering directly from Germany.
Devilsnake98 Posted May 31, 2011 Posted May 31, 2011 Hey lobbs, that site you said was in Missouri, it doesn't show the Eleanor? What is the website?
Dragline Posted May 7, 2016 Posted May 7, 2016 (edited) http://www.spotmodel.com/ They show the kit coming in but I had it in my cart and I have one coming. You may get one if you haul buttocks. Edited May 7, 2016 by Dragline
