However the Fiber glass eleanor hood (shown in recent photos) is starting to fit a lot better, but we have had to extend the rear edge, by building it up with fiber glass.

The front edge has been built up as well with fiber glass so it matches the nose.

Thanks mate

Would it be easier to just extend the rear of the hood? The snaps make me want to grab the hood and pull it forward! If the distance could be made up at the rear, perhaps finding another hood or fabbing the metal, it might fit nicely.

It’s to be expected that they won’t fit. every single kit that has ever been made for Eleanor clones needs work and you can be sure none fit out of the crate. The thing is no one fastback is the same.

Some of the hours guys in the states have put into their kits is UNBELIEVABLE! We’re spending a bit of time on it but far from what others have spent.

It’s all good though, we’ll get there soon enough

The kit is an Australian made one. As far as i know it is the only one of it’s kind that has the side scoop molded into the flare. I can put you in touch with the guys i bought it off if you like. But be aware this kit cost more than the US made kit’s due to its higher quality.

As for the Eleanor hood, it’s much the same as the GT hood. The problem lies with the front of the kit rather than the hood itself. The hood is fine, but in order to get it to fit i think we’re going to have to cut the hood in half shave some off the inside and fiber it back together. the front of the kit is by far the most work we’ve had so far.

Will keep you posted.

Cheers
