Eleanor inspired 71 Mustang

[viper_j82]

Hi, just wanted to share I build I've been working on and off for about 9 years (keep getting distracted with other builds and my kids). Its an AMT 71 Mach 1 with custom front end, rims, exhaust, nos, bonnet and rear spoiler. She still has a long way to go but getting there. Any and all comments good or bad welcome.

Good looking car, but your plug wires look way too big.

[viper_j82]

Yeah they do look a bit to big I will have to find some smaller wire to replace it with

if you want the bottle/valve to be more realistic you should add a high flow valve and a blow down tube as well as add some more realistic sized braided line leaving the valve. Also you would need to add a fuel regulator for both the regular fuel pressure regulator and another regulator for the fuel for the nitrous system to really add detail

But "Eleanor" was a 1971 Mustang , it was modified to look like a 1973 Mustang
