Default Hello! Im John Proffitt from Phoenix

Been bruised, beaten, loved and hated by 1970 and older Classic Cars and motorcycles since I was old enough to drive. Currently working on Jaguar XKE E-type Series 1 bonnet. Fenders and center section typically are imported from England and not aware of any fender or center section vendors. If there's is anyone in the Phoenix area with tooling capable of replicating these factory items for broad based domestic sale would appreciate hearing from you.

Appreciate your time and interest!


Regards,

John

Hi John. I can't help with the XKE bonnet. There are a couple of threads here that show members working on those.

I'm in Mesa and have a couple of Jensen-Healeys.

Hi John and Welcome.

I am battling with a Series 3 E Type bonnet as well, the centre hump had to be moved 25mm, and I don't how they done it like that, They are huge and I'm in the same boat as Shipping and the actual part is killer expensive.

But there is a company in the States that makes them and many other rust sections.

Goodluck with your project and post some piccy's up, as we all love piccy's

Cheers John
