Eleanor we have been working on

We have been working on this for a long time and we finally have color on the body and Brian finished buffing.









 
Took mine out and showed it today. Won best of show and had more lookers than anything on the street. After all these years after the famed movie the ole girl still has it.
 
lots of Mustang people really don't like the Eleanor cars but the general populous sure does. I have heard how dated the look will become... still waiting...
 
if they ever do become dated, maybe you guys that own one can chip in & fund a part II to the movie. maybe where the unrestored car at the end of the movie gets restored, then its stolen? should add another 20 yrs to the cycle....

We did a majority of the metal work here and fitted the Eleanor parts. After seeing Rusty and Brian's work, we knew to look no further- GPR was who we wanted to finish it. They fixed a handful of things that we did wrong and brought her to this stage of glory. You can't find better people.

Looks great. Nice that you were able to do most of the metal work yourself, hope to get started on mine someday soon and have the courage to do as much of the major metal work that I can. Watched a lot of threads that GPR has on cars they built, they both have some amazing skills.
