Not too long ago, a popular YouTuber tried to build an Eleanor-inspired Mustang only to have the car seized for infringing on the rights of a company that owns the Eleanor name. Here’s hoping that the same company doesn’t also seize this Eleanor-inspired Mustang, even though it only is a small scale model.
This Mustang comes from YouTube channel Woodworking Art and, much like the other creations we’ve shared in the past, was made completely from hand and neatly mimics the design of a 1967 Ford Mustang.

After drawing out the basic shape of the car into two pieces of wood, the model is cut. From there, two pieces of wood are attached to the sides of the car. The expert craftsman then proceeds to carve out the roof section of the classic American muscle car before using a chisel and a saw to work some of the finer details, including the front fascia and rear end, followed by the trunklid and hood – even the power bulge on the hood is replicated.
After crafting the doors, the YouTuber cuts out sections to slot in the windshield and the rear window. He even goes to the trouble of creating a tiny replica gas cap and then begins the difficult task of forming the front fascia, including the grille. The replica is made all impressive by the fact that it even has a complete interior, including a manual shifter, as well as an engine that’s also been carved out of wood.
