1967 Ford Mustang Eleanor pro-touring!

Hi,
My name is Mathias from Belgium and I'm building my dreamcar since October 2013. My idea was simple, just follow my idea without listening to other opinions... And on this moment, I never regret anything I did on the car.

The history of the car:
In 2009 I bought a 1967 Ford Mustang GT 500 Eleanor recreation by Stangaholics, CA. After 5 years of fun with the car, I decided to upgrade the car with some features. I Always wanted to have modern technology in an old car. So first idea was just to swap the engines but after several small issues I started to rebuild the whole car.

Some pictures back in summer of 2013.

In octobre 2013 I pulled the Roush 427R engine out of the car after some issues. Also some dents and scratches were on the car that I want to fix.
After some other issues with the car we started with full disassembly. :twak:

In meanwhile I designed my new Eleanor in my head and the more I thought, the better the idea was!

After full disassembly we started to smooth the rear bumper and installed rear tire tubes for a wider rear wheel...

Our engine... It's an LS (yes I know and no I don't care) by Nelson Racing engine with an X-ram system. It's a LS 474 (8.1L) and delivers 700 hp. :idea:

Tranmission is a Tremec T56 magnum 6 speed manual.

Great looking wheels. Will they remain natural or are you planning to coat or paint them?
