    Above is the Total Control Products suspension upgrade that was installed on the Eleanor “Hero Car”. For those of you that have been following my post from the beginning, you’ll recognize the subframe connectors (painted in Black) that I scratch built. Also, the Rear Push Rod Coil-Over Suspension and Watts Link set up (both painted in Blue). TCB, Adam

    Thank you! It’s been a labor of love on this build. My dream car. Been working on this build on & off for over 5 years. She will be done in time for a “Mustang Theme” model contest first weekend in June. TCB, Adam

    These are all the parts to build the Shock Tower Brace Kit from Total Control Products. I’m using 2K Clear as glue, so I don’t leave visible glue residue. All the machined aluminum tube, rod ends, nuts & bolts are from RB Motion. Not cheap, but he has the highest detailed quality products on the market. TCB, Adam

    Head Lights & Fog Lights installed. Scale Productions produce some very highly detailed head lamps. Photo etched grill inserts are next. This Eleanor is getting her face put on !

    Made my own sun visors and roof liner. TCB, Adam

    I used Tamiya Smoke (spray can) to make the tinted window. First time…. however through the airbrush would have been a better application. Still worked though..

    A few highlights of the interior! Detail Master Parts Used: Seat Belts, Hurst Shifter & Boot Plate, Fire Extinguisher, NOS Bottle& Hose Clamps. The interior NOS switch panel & light were scratch built, along with the aluminum battery box. The clear hose from the fuel cell was heated & bent into shape and the ends painted matte black. TCB, Adam

    Interior assembly is all completed, aside from the roof liner, rear view mirror and sun visors. This will be installed on the inside of the Eleanor body. TCB, Adam

    The BMF was damaged when test fitting the windshield, so I had to replace the top trim. Very close to completion on this one… Stay Tuned !

    The flocking on this one turned out great ! The photo may not show it correctly, but it is not too thick, not clumpy in sections. Very even and smooth. FYI, what I do is mask off the areas not to be covered, like the spots that need parts glued to it, ie: door panels, seats & gear shifter. Next I give the area a generous coat of Matt Black (spray can) and then quickly grab the strainer and flocking and shower it over the area. I then very lightly tap the flocking down into place and let it dry accordingly. Afterwards, I then turn it upside down and tap the excess flocking off the part. What you are left with should be a nice even coat that is securely laid down. Any spots that were missed could easily be touched up with a brush of paint and repeat the flocking process again.

    Some nice overall engine photos before the body gets in the way. Throttle linkage wire and Master Cylinder vacuum hose to be installed. All wiring and hoses get attached once body is attached. - Up Next: Completion of Front Strut Tower Bracing. Interior Flocking and Assembly. Roof Liner and Window Install. TCB, Adam

    Front suspension completed. Rear suspension still needing the Total Control 4-Link suspension, Watts Link and Sub-Frame connector installed. As I don’t want to risk damaging the remaining components, I will install them in the final days of completion. FYI, the masking tape over the aluminum fuel tank will also be removed in final days. The aluminum paint on this part is very easily scratched! TCB, Adam

    Work begins on final assembly. Drive shaft and rear axle First, then exhaust pipes Second. The remainder of the Total Control Suspension for the rear and sub frame will be added later. TCB, Adam

    Clean Details ! Love the Wheels and Garage Dolly for the car body ! TCB, Adam

    Work finally begins on the custom Total Control Products - Adjustable Shock Tower Brace.
  22. adamelvis
    Brake Lines for the Front & Rear are completed. Also added brake calipers to the backside of the wheels, so I can connect the brake lines. TCB, Adam

    On the left is the stock AMT shock/spring unit. I made my own coil-over with 3/32” plastic tube and aluminum wiring (wrapped around a drill bit to create the spring). Using the same wire to put it all together and also will be able to adjust the height during installation. TCB, Adam

    Added some Detail Master Muffler Clamps. Good way to secure those “floating exhaust pipes” to your undercarriage. Will add some panel line accent and splash a little Vallejo Earth tone on there for weathering effects. TCB, Adam
