Here's a couple of Eleanor's made from a couple of Hot wheels Mustangs, I'm working on a version with Goodyear tires.
I just have to find the wheels in my stock of wheels before I can put it together.

Nice job! I loved the original movie. It was produced by a local western NY guy. Some scenes were shot nearby too if I'm not mistaken.

Thanks, I love the original movie to.
It just has a special feel to it that the remake doesn't have.
And Eleanor is a strange and cool blend of 71 and 73 Mustang, plus the engine sound is so cool.
This is by the way a video based on "Gone in 60 seconds" that I made using stop motion: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ob8-t7cyuHk

The Mustang II is a Mustang too!
Great video! Is part 2 done?

On a side note, the blue Montego was owned by this board's very own Jeff Koch. That's a 'Your Car Is The Star'!

Part 2 has been in the works for a long time, because I haven't had the time because of cut backs at work.
But I am hoping to begin work on part 2 soon, I just finished some simple buildings in cardstock, to use in part 2.

I didn't know that the Montego was owned by a board member, he is one lucky man.

Thanks.
I didn't use the "hollywood on wheels" version of the car because the one I have didn't roll well.
That's why I don't like die cast cars with rubber wheels, often they don't roll well.
