Building 67 E-type FHC with a Trans Am look. Have the clay work done, building the wooden buck now. Looking for info on similar sheet metal work.

Welcome to the forum Mike. Sounds like a great project but a big undertaking.

Mike, Welcome to the site. Spent many hours making panels for Etypes in the days before they were commercially available. I like the sound of your build, it will carry great interest by the members here.

Where are you located in Michigan ?

Thank you for the warm welcome! I am not much on computers, but have more than an average lifetime of automotive experience. I will try to get some pics up as soon as my son is around to help. As odd as it sounds the real car in clay actually looks better than the photos.

Rick, I am located in Farmington Hills. I think even the Brits will appreciate how true to style my Jag looks.

Mike, I was at the Goodwood Revival this year getting way too excited about the low drag Etype Coupes. It will be good to see your design and progress. I am in Novi, we should plan a BS session some time. PM me with some contact information.
