I thought I would give a little preview of my new design, this is just a picture of the test fit. bumper is being put on and off dozen of times during molding process. will also post pictures of the finished product next week.

That's going to be awesome. Just like the real Eleanor. I was very surprised when the BBR/Ronaele and Cervini's kits came out, and neither of them did that... Yet Foose did. Definitely post up finished pics (not that we have to ask you to, lol). Are you using the stock headlights with the plastic cover removed, or aftermarket lights?

Looks good. Glass I presume?

The original headlights, I took them apart and cut to fit , I just finished putting the clear cover on them last night,will take pictures of the light bucket and post picture of it too. glad you like it.this is the Eleanor look I've been striveing for since I started this project. I just had to make the mold for the headlights myself and let someone else do the fine details.
Yes it's a fiberglass bumper cover. now if someone would take my design and make the cover into a urthane one. As far as I know no one makes it. That's the reason I had to do it myself.
also this the reason I wanted the fiberglass version of the BBR bumper cover. What's neat about my design is I could have done this with any bumper cover as long as it is made of fiberglass.

Thanks everyone! I just wish the guy doing the finishing touches would stop draging his butt! He was suppost to call me today to bring the car over for another test fitting before the paint goes on.here's what it looked like before this stage. also here's a few pictures of the light after I installed the clear cover I made and then painted.

guess who designed Eleanor?

DarkFireGT

This is true. I know the Cervini's kit is a more modern take on it, so I can see why they didn't, but the BBR/Ronaele kit is so close to Foose's Eleanor, I'm surprised they didn't do it.

Well Ronaele took the BBR kit from Keanan , But Keanan told Chris that to do the lights like I've done would be to time consuming, If Keanan would have done it , I promiss it would be right ,he's good but slow at getting the products out. But his quality is top notch.I took the car to the guy today and it was prefitted again ,but it's finally getting there. I go again tomarrow for one last fitting then if everything is right it will be painted on Tuesday. It's starting to fit like a glove. can't wait till it is done,so I can post the results. All I can say is it's wicked!
