Thought I'd let my friends here know about the new pics I posted on the Mark I/II S-Type Forum. Some of you were interested in my JagRod project. Well I had to paint another car so not much has been done until recently. By tomorrow I will have 2 halves..cutting out 9" and will post more pics. She's all braced, the floor, frame rails and roof cut. Next will be the inner sill rails.

 

That will be interesting to see. (LINK TO MKI MKII THREAD)

If it helps you could always do the side windows in plastic, not ideal but cheap(er), there are plenty of companies who make plastic replacement windows for track cars, all you have to do is make one out of aluminium or steel and they will use it as a template and make one to match, could be an idea

Good luck

 

Posted some more pics today. She's welded back together. Still have lots to finish up of coarse. XK Racer thanks for that link..I don't know how to do that yet. I decided to do this because I wanted a truly unique car. Other shortened cars always look wierd because they are too short, and typically the builder uses the rear door jam with the dog leg. My goal is for this to look like the factory did it.

 

Links are easy....... Just highlight the words you want to link, then click on the "world paperclip icon" above, on the quick reply box it is next to the font colour box, a text box then appears, just right click and then paste in the web address you want..... Job done

 

I found 4 doors complete with windows and hardware. The glass is flat (at first I thought it curved) so the glass is not a big deal. I want the extra front doors to make extending mine much easier. This would be easier than using sections from the rear doors. It will mate to the reward positioned post keeping the stock door jam. Otherwise I would have to cut and section the end of the door and post to fit the taper of the rear door. Going to extend them about 9-10" so it will stay straight as opposed to tapering down. Hope you can envision what I'm trying to relay.
