Eleanor Mustangs Are Played Out | Joe Rogan & Richard Rawlings

Yeah, I've seen you know, there's a there's a guy online that has on Instagram GT 500 super swap He took an old GT 500 body and put it on a GT 500 from a modern chassis and piece it together like that But I was always thinking with it with a setup like that. You probably can't have airbags, right? You can't here's actually ways to add it into there, but you get into the there it is Yeah, you get into the geometry and the direction of the airbag. So look how beautiful that looks Oh, yeah But you don't want to play with the R&D of trying to put an airbag into something like that unless you really really know What you're doing because you don't you know Refraction of an inch off of being where it needs to be that airbag could do more damage than good It it's weird though because you're dealing with a totally different sized body too. So I wonder how he's doing this It's Easy. It doesn't sound easy, but it is is it really have you done that before we haven't but I Understand the process and really it's just cut massage move in move out, you know Because there's a company called mag motors. You ever heard of them. I don't think I have go to mag motors comm They have what they're doing is they're putting a carbon fiber body on a modern GT 500 But they're using a 67 like Eleanor body, but they're making it out of carbon fiber So it's that one's gross go to the silver one That white one looks just to hate the Eleanor body. So you really know overplayed. How dare you? It's just too it's just been done so many times who cares. It's amazing Yeah, go to yeah, that's those are the images but go to get it get it from the side So you get a better look at it. That's a fucking beautiful car. See to me. It sits weird It looks like it sits a little too high and it looks like they're worried like I don't know anything about them But to me looking at it's like you need to get it down a little bit You get a little more attitude get a deeper dish on the wheel Well, I think what they're doing is trying to use all the geometry. Yes of the modern car correct So you end up with something? It looks like it could go four-wheelin a Little bit right. Yeah, it's not it's definitely not slammed Yeah in terms of looks right Yes, I mean, I'm sure the car runs and drives and performs unbelievably. Mm-hmm, but it's missing a little to me It's missing a little something. You know that company classic recreations Have you seen them? No, they do they're doing similar cars like that, too But they're doing it, you know from the ground up. There's a lot of people doing it Because it's with technology coming the way that it has it's it's not as hard and to do as it used to be Mm-hmm. It's still a labor's task. Don't get me wrong, but You know you can make all those systems work in anything see a guy like you that's a car guy You look at an Eleanor and you look at it like it's played But a person who doesn't see them all the time was not in a car industry You when was the last time you saw one of those fucking things on the street shit? I was there Jackson. There was like five of them for sale. That's the thing if you go there But like fusion Motorsports, they're there right down the street here. They make they're the only licensed dealers they have some deal with the the woman who was the She was the wife of the guy who wrote gone in 60 seconds or produce something like that. So they make See go to fusion Eleanor. They make some pretty sick ones But you think there's a played out Personally, yeah, I'm just not an Eleanor car fan. I just that is fucking beautiful. Why do you hate America Richard? I don't Have you actually not loved that it's just there's hundreds if not thousands of them out there Come on, bro. You must say to America. No way man And I love the most things I've got three of them myself including a real 68 Shelby, but Is it the shape or the the color scheme? I think it's the shape. I mean to me it's It's such a popular car in the movie that you know too many people did it and now everybody's doing it and you know Yeah, but I mean how many of them are out there in comparison to like say a modern ZR one There's probably nearly as many Thousands of those. I think so. Oh, yeah, really? Yeah, there's different companies making tons of them all car people say that They say two cars They think are played out 69 Camaro's and these things like everybody does a 69 Camaro and everybody does Eleanor Yeah, and the the Duke's hazard car. Oh, yeah, same thing. Yeah, you know now a badass 69 charger Don't get me wrong, but painted orange with a flag on top Play it out. You can't do that anymore. That flag is fucking. Yeah, I'm a non grout is for sure You believe they pulled that show off the air Did they yes because the flag that shows off the air it showed on like some weird obscure cable chain pulled it off a TV land That's really yep TV land. I've wrote a whole thing about it on Instagram. How ridiculous it was
