Topic: Q: Did speedycop ever finish his restomod Eleanor Mustang?

SpeedyCop (or anyone else from his Gang):
When I first started reading the Lemons forums a few years ago, I seem to recall that you had just purchased a body kit and wrecked Mustang and were planning on making a restomod Eleanor Mustang. Granted this was one plane, one accordian accord, and god knows how many other projects ago but did you ever finish that project?

If so, I'd love to see pics or get an update.
Regards,

I think it got painted and was back at his place being worked on slowly. But we need words from the guy himself.

It's painted, but it's still just a shell. Every winter I say I'm gonna get back on it, but every winter I get caught up in some new Lemons project. It's in my garage, it's insured, and it's not going anywhere...

BTW, still looks like this:

Glad to see you still have it and I hope to see if finished sooner or later.
