Nice! I bought a copy of this kit the last time it was available and have been working up the nerve to start it! I have a copy of the USCP kit issued earlier this year that I plan to cut my teeth on once I clear my in-progress queue.
Seam's that not many people know about the original Eleanor or the original Gone In 60 Seconds . Great movie ! I think it was a 1973 Mustang fast back in Yellow, Was it a Mach 1 ?
I managed to pre-order the USCP kit this year in May, it too is very nice and was only 65 GBP. In a couple of years I will get round to it. More kits need to be produced as there is demand.
I think you have a second generation casting, I got hood pins, rotors, and calipers in my kit. Excellent kit though, was a blast to build, I'll get you some pics.
@@DCHainline yes mate I realise that now. You didn't say that at the time and again nothing wrong with PE. In fact it is better because the bare steel looks more like actual rotors. Not that you'll see it under the wheel anyhow.
Tom, A couple questions... Are you building this as a faithful movie Eleanor replica or as a modified Shelby? If it's the latter, you'd have more flexibility to do what you like, but still in the spirit of the movie car (colors, engine swap, etc). Will this be a "curb side" or are you detailing out the engine bay? Would love to see you do an engine bay with more detail than you normally do (some wiring, labels...). Anyway- great luck with your new build, it looks promising!
Ill be building it to “movie spec” looks wise with the parts i have. Not modifying or changing it all. The engine will be used and wired up a bit. Not going overboard detail wise. Again, just using the parts i have.
Cool, that'll give you some specific parameters to work with. BTW- if you google "Mustang Eleanor Engine Bay" there are a bunch of photos for detail reference. @@TheScalemodelingChannel
I have been searching high n low for this trans kit!!!
USCP did a kit in May, I got one for 65 GBP. Maybe mail them to see if they will do more
They won’t atleast not for a couple years
@@TheScalemodelingChannel never mind. I found a pic of the box and it was a limited run
I don’t understand. Why would they not sell or make more of this kit knowing it will sell great in the market?

Didn't you watch the video? 3.20...
Those are just the photo-etched pieces.
@@DCHainline yes but they are hood pins, callipers and rotors. Nothing wrong with PE.
I'm talking resin calipers and rotors.
@@DCHainline yes mate I realise that now. You didn't say that at the time and again nothing wrong with PE. In fact it is better because the bare steel looks more like actual rotors. Not that you'll see it under the wheel anyhow.

Sweet kit big LiKE.. :) =)
The original "Eleanor" was yellow. The remake "Elanor" is grey
The original eleanor was also not a 67

I’m trying my best to find a 67 cougar reproduction. Any websites?
do you build trucks and do you always put disc brakes on your cars
Is the amt and this one the same?
No
No interior?
This is not a kit. Its a trans kit. The interior and other parts come from the donor kit
