Custom Build
Shelby GT500 ‘Eleanor’
An Eleanor — the most famous Mustang there is. Our job is to make this GT500 fastback as flawless as the legend it’s built to honor, chasing perfection in every panel, gap, and line before it ever sees paint.
Overview
Few names carry the weight of Eleanor. This Shelby GT500 fastback is built in the image of the most famous Mustang ever to reach the screen — and a car with that reputation earns an obsessive eye for detail. Our focus is getting every line exactly right: making the door gaps consistent from panel to panel, dialing in wheel clearance and hood fitment, and laser-aligning the hood crown and stripe so the centerline and keyhole sit dead-on. Once every panel is perfect, the car comes fully apart for bodywork, prep, and paint, followed by a meticulous reassembly — finished to the standard an Eleanor deserves.
