Like many Classic Cars this Mustang has been through a lot. Being a Muscle Car, only amplifies what a Classic will survive and be brought back from. So seeing a 68 front clip on a 67 was not surprising, actually we didn't even notice it at first, that is untill we realized she had side marker lights. After all, how many Mustangs have given their parts to keep this one on the road. Or did this Mustang give her parts, only to be latter resurrected from a parts yard somewhere, as her value and rarety increased. Regardless, she is a Mustang again, and after another minor accident her owner elected to convert her to an Eleanor.
The kit our Mustang Owner bought was a Meg-Lite bought on eBay, not too impressed with this kit. The parts are warped, and full of waves. The parts don't fit, undersized, wrong shape, wrong body lines, and often not even a boss to attach the piece with; what I would call Factory Seconds. When our Mustang Owner contacted Meg-Lite they told him I must not know how to work with fiberglass. Well maybe I don't, after all I only have 40 years experience, with one of my earlier jobs in life of working in a Mustang exclusive shop, to include the installation of many Shelby kits. Shelby kits were easily a hundred fold nicer than this kit. But I am human, I could be wrong, maybe I've been doing it wrong all of my life. Anyhow I decided to call Meg-Lite myself. The insults were quickly dropped and the gentleman was very polite, even offering to fully refund our Mustang Owner. Our Mustang Owner elected to keep the parts, realizing that he had neglected to read the fine print which spoke of defects. Still awaiting a replacement trunk lid, but...
A month or so has passed, still no replacement trunk lid, but progress indeed inches forward. 
The side scoops are coming along well. Both were a little wavy but not bad, the cracks in the passenger side scoop were a little much; obviously somebody at the factory had crushed the top corner. But we rebuilt the corner and all is fine. The timely part is matching the scoops to the body. Chip Foose's Eleanor is shaped and contoured beautifully, but by far, when looking at all the Eleanor kits out there, almost no one takes the time to match the scoops.
To return a dig, Meg-Lite bashes Hand Laid Fiberglass, claiming that Hand Laid Fiberglass results in air bubbles and is inferior, as well as claiming that his sprayed in method does not. Well first of all hand verses machine is one of the oldest arguments in the book. I personally believe in "quality of workmanship", regardless of, if the worker is using a machine or their hands. However Meg-Lite's work is not without air bubbles by far, they just take the time to fill them. Now there is nothing wrong with filling air bubbles, or fixing ones work, indeed the quality worker takes the time to find and repair their mistakes or flaws. But there is a wrong when you complain about another's work, when you are doing the same.
Eleanor makes a movie with Panda.
