Another pic of that 1936 Jag...

Are you trying to convince us that fenders would be the right direction, or are you just torturing yourself...

Just posting the other pic that I found.

Roofus will be fenderless.

Must be easy to get a title for "homebuilts" in Kentucky? Here in Ontario, we'd have to jump through hoops of fire to pull it off, I believe.

Looking forward to touchdown on all fours... As I'm sure you are as well.

It's not a homebuilt. It is a 1960 Jaguar MK2 that has been modified.

A two piece windshield would look good on your '60 mk2...

I worked on figuring out what it will take to get the upper a-arms attached to the frame.

I cut these from a piece of 2x4


so that I could do this


The idea is to mount the mercedes shafts on plates so that the arms can be bolted to the frame. The problem is that the frame is not square with the world...the rails are pinched.

The arms need to be mounted at an angle.


simple enough...in theory

[Flipper_1938]

now to make it pretty












I had to make a mirror image one too...
.

Next step will be to prep the front rails for the arms.

Looking good; you'll be sitting on 4 wheels before you know it.

I'm probably going to slot the mounting holes so that I have some adjustment for caster.
