I was just remembering that last year at this time I had just finished the buck. My friend (experienced metalshaper)who was going to help me had just fallen from a tree stand breaking several vertebrea, ribs and collar bone laying in the woods till his son came back and found him near dead. I was faced with what seemed like nearly insurmountable project alone. So many here; Peter, Kerry, Craig, Steve G. Brent, Steve, David, Bob K., Will, Jim H. my wife and others have coaxed/coached/encouraged me along. With all this help my project is looking pretty darn good, way better than I would have guessed. I am lucky in many ways for the acceptance, friendship and what I have learned and accomplished.

Thanks Guys!

Great find!

I didn't know they sold shrabbery as interior those days

They tend to rust a bit so it could be another journy you can learn from.

Kind regards,

Frank

Worst of all, some nob filled it full of sand, do they have the death penalty in that state?

Somebody must have very upset! Doing that to an old Jaguar is a slap in face to all gearheads. But many of its donor parts will now live on !

Something about a court order and a divorce stating the Jag had to be turned over to the spouse, but no requirement for the condition at turnover.
