dwc43 Posted August 5, 2009 Posted August 5, 2009 It was metallic blue. And technically it was Ashly in the warehouse, 'cause they were using the same list of cars, they just did not have names yet. lol.

So it wasn't the same Cobra, unless the car was returned to the owner, then stolen again by Memphis and his crew... bad day for that car owner.

Besides, it was a bad enough day getting stolen the first time. And you think the owner would learn too.
93Z34 Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 I'm looking for a good resin conversion for Eleanor and so far I am coming up empty handed. I know Scale Productions did a conversion kit, but it's no longer listed. Has anyone else done this car and if so, who and does anyone have a good link with prices and so forth? This is really gonna suck if noone's making the resin conversion for Eleanor now.
dwc43 Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 Scale Productions has the kit to do a 2005 Mustang, but not the '67. Strada Sports has one, but you aint gonna like the price of it. http://www.stradasportsstore.com/shop-bin/...oductsearch.cgi
RodneyBad Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 Not really any Great progress but found my Bling Bling wheels I was thinking of lifting it a bit and bigger tires/wheels but then it wouldn't have fit in the parking garage.
vizio93 Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 hey man that looks really good. wasen't the color like a blue-purple pearlesent color?
dwc43 Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 Cool. I need to post some pics of mine. I've got almost all of it done except the hood mods and all the paint for the body.
RodneyBad Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 hey man that looks really good. wasen't the color like a blue-purple pearlesent color? Hard to tell since it was at night and inside of a parking garage. Well, I picked up the Duplicolor Mirage Purple/green paint. Close enough for me Once I get the paint on, I'll BMF every little thing. I'm sure the owner stuck on anything that was a chrome bolt-on/stick-on option. BTW: I borrowed the wheels and tires from the Jada Toyota FJ..
RodneyBad Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 Good thing I have a few spare wheels. and not enough Cinder blocks.
The Red Ranger Posted August 9, 2009 Author Posted August 9, 2009 Hah! I love the FJ Cruisers, but not on bling bling rims. Your hummer looks fantastic though!
The Red Ranger Posted August 9, 2009 Author Posted August 9, 2009 (edited) So I have an issue. The Porsche that I am going to build is the 996. Now the 996 is stolen in the very beginning of the movie by Kip, but ultimately that batch of cars gets impounded and presumably returned to the dealership. So, do I get to be creative with the Memphis boosted 996? I'll let you guys decide. Edited August 9, 2009 by The Red Ranger
93Z34 Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 (edited) We've also got a bigger issue. I contacted the company that was selling the Eleanor conversion kit to see if they had any in stock and was informed by e-mail yesterday that they are out of stock and there are currently no plans to produce anymore of these conversions due to poor sales and dated material. So, trying to replicate Eleanor just got a million times harder unless someone has one of these conversions they're willing to part with. Edited August 9, 2009 by 93Z34

So can builds Ditching the snorkel. I guess being a city Humvee, it's not gonna have a Deep water fording kit.

Best I say is use a GT350 for the basis and scratch build. I doubt anyone who was willing to pay that price for the Eleanor clones would be willing to part with it, especially now that there are no plans to reproduce them. This sucks.

Minor set back.. Primed it up and dropped it in the dirt. DUH!!! Should I lift it?? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/H1-Hummer-s...6.c0.m245#v4-34 Hey Hey Moon Pie Coming along great. Edited August 12, 2009 by Zukiholic
The Red Ranger Posted August 12, 2009 Author Posted August 12, 2009 Hey, Mr. Moonpie, that Camaro is coming along beautifully. Are you going to do rally stripes? I always liked the Red with White stripes Zuki, I appreciate your modesty, but wow. Also if I were you, I would lift it. I am gonna show you what I'm going to do with my Porsche once I get the pictures.
dwc43 Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 (edited) Here's some pics of the Original Eleanor that I am working on. I took the hood and cut out the Mach 1 naca ducts and replaced it with some clear styrene that I had. I managed to get the curve at the back of the hood carve back in it as well.

FujimiLover Posted August 14, 2009 Posted August 14, 2009 Who was the actor that played Raymond Koleechy? Or however his last name was, AKA the "Carpenter"? Just saw J.I.Joe last night and he was in that movie as well.
