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..

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 !

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.

Lights are looking great! as does the rest of the build! That steering as Will mentioned looks epic, and super hard!

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,

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).

Wow the attention to detail is crazy! I wish I had the patience to build something like this!

Thank you.  It was a patient 5 years in the making.  LOL !
