adamelvis Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 (edited) This is a dream build of mine. I was lucky to have been able to pick up a Scale Productions “Eleanor” transkit a few years ago. I will be scratch building the Total Control front & rear suspension, that was used in the “hero car”.

mustang1989 Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 I've really wanted to build one of these as well. Chances are I'll never find the AM Eleanor kit though. Will be watching this one come together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gman Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 That kit certainly looks the part. Looking forward to seeing what you'll do with this (and your other projects). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Adam I have been to a number of their shows over the years (Yay swap meet!), but have been pretty busy with work for the last few. Cuts into shows, cuts into building time. I'll have to see. Lately, I have to live vicariously through the guys with bench time, and interesting projects like yourself ;). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragonhawk1066 Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Oh man would I love to have one of those trans-kits! I'm guessing they are not still available, and even so I probably couldn't afford one for a while, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correction, his name is Greg Wann and his Eleanor mold is spot on. Even comes with a few extras like, wheels, fuel cap, etc. PM him for details & availability. I have a few of his kits for future projects ! Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

afx Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 I saw a brief documentary on the this "Eleanor" . If I recall correctly (11) cars were built - (5) were destroyed performing stunts in the film and (6) survived. The "hero cars" are full builds being used for closeups during filming. https://petrolicious.com/articles/an-authentic-eleanor-mustang-revisits-the-set-of-los-angeles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamelvis Posted December 8, 2019 Author Share Posted December 8, 2019 (edited) Modifying the rear axle to accommodate the pushrods. I will be using the following Evergreen products to scratch build the rear clip weld assembly. The push rods are brass tubing from K&S Precision Metals.

adamelvis Posted December 8, 2019 Author Share Posted December 8, 2019 Here is the Rocker Assembly. You will have to scratch build this or create your own assembly. Still need to finish the coil-over shock installation. The rear clip fits nice and snug, as I added mounting brackets to attach to the frame. This should look nice once painted blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamelvis Posted December 17, 2019 Author Share Posted December 17, 2019 Just waiting on the chassis tabs that I ordered from [futurattraction.com] .... Maybe I’ll work on the engine & custom headers (made from solder wire and aluminum pipe). TCB, Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
