Let the Wrecking Begin

It turns out that 1/24 replicas of Eleanor are as hard to get as the original was in the movie. My first attempt was AMT's Macho Mustang...the only '73 kit out there, but so far off that trying to correct the interior, engine, and hood just weren't worth it. Then I found out about Bunka's "Vanishing Mach 1. Although badged as an unofficial Eleanor, this was still wrong in many of the details. Next, I tried to get a resin hood to make a hybrid of the Macho Mustang and AMT's '71 Mustang, but was unable to get a hold of the seller.

Finally, like a chance encounter at a car wash, I discovered that Motor Max made a flat hood '71 and a set of Mustang wheels with smaller center caps. This would be my Eleanor...and by leaving the '71 bumpers and parking lights as they were, it made for an even more accurate movie replica than I had originally planned!
