"Gone In 60 Seconds" 73 Ford Mustang

[Car Crazy 81]

I'd originally built Eleanor from a AMT 73 Mustang back in 2009 this time around im building another Eleanor from a AMT 71 Mustang kit that i'd got in a trade from Phil Harkins. I havent done much except removing flash & seams.

Just last week I was planning on doing the very same build so I bought the AMT 73 Mustang. Once I opened the box all hopes were dashed. It can't be done with that kit. Maybe in another time and place I'll do it but for now I'll settle on watching you build yours.

There is a 2nd 'Gone' movie?!?!?!? (I hate the Cage movie)

AMT/R2 have two 71-73 Mustang kits out. The kit with the yellow car can not be built stock....and is the trashed remains of the original AMT kit. Matchbox folks cut it up bad.

The AMT kit with the blue Mustang on the box is the old MPC KIT which is decent and includes a nice race interior and stock interior.

The needed flat hood can be found on the JoHan 71 Mustang funny car kit. Cut the hood from the funny car body and it fits perfect!!

I have not found the EXACT dog dish caps but some without the FMC letters.

Tamiya Camel Yellow over gray is real close to the film cars color.

There are a few cars from the real film I'd like to build.....think I can find a 4 door 1973 Matador?!?!?!?!

pet peeve number 10,001.... Hollyweird stealing the name of a classic movie and plastering it on a Direct-to-DVD bomb.

pet peeve number 10, 002... Hollyweird remaking a movie that simply does not translate into the current era.
