Here’s my coupe…unfinished…but getting there. This Coupe has a SBC 406 with 700R4, 3.54 gears and ABS.. It runs great but there are lots of cosmetic odds and ends to address.

 

That's really nice.

 

Looks good

Those mag wheels really pull it together! Looks nice!

 

I've never even tried to imagine cragar type wheels on an XJ...but it makes sense with the engine choice for sure. I dig it.

 

Your coupe looks great, I immediately noticed your bumpers, are they from a Series 1? if so did you have to fabricate the brackets?
Mine is a 75 coupe, I think the battering ram bumpers spoil the looks of the car. I have a set of beat up series 1 bumpers that need re-chroming, but I haven't figured out the brackets yet.

 

Series 1's wont work and they will cost more to get re-chomed than to order new ones. They are reproduction series 2 from Viet Nam. Strange...I called Viet Nam 2AM gave them my credit card and they arrived a few weeks later as promised. They were very nice on the phone. Those commies really know how to do capitalism and us capitalists are really screwing up socialism. It's a mixed up world. They're very good quality stainless. I had to use Series 2 Euro front bumper mounts and do a whole lotta cutting and welding on the rear to fab up some mounts. I got the front bumpers/hood hinged from a well know Jag parts supplier who was rude rude rude! It was like he was doing me a favor. I wont do business with them again. You can find the hood hinges/front bumper mounts on ebay.co.uk

The wheels are called American Racing "Torque Thurst II". Craigers do look similiar.

 

Which company did you order the bumpers from and how much were they?
A link would be useful as well if possible.

 

I got the bumpers on Ebay....

I'm building another coupe Green with Tan interior, LTI, 4l6e, Bosch ABS and Euro bumpers. Should be for sale in a few months.

 

I want one with a roll cage!
