I'm Back!!!!
Well its been over two years since my last post. What can I say, time flies when your having fun. I went into a bit of a block when work and life side tracked me but I started up on the Jag project again and the body is almost done. Some photos to show the progress. Hoping to have it back in the garage for the interior install and finish in the new year

Ok I got questions now...
Why did you choose to not integrate the tail light housings into the fenders? They have that "bolted on aftermarket" look now. I do like the round lenses just wish they were not so obviously unoriginal.
What's up with the yellow door? Shed looks very "serial killer inside" too.
You pained the whole car, right? So why did you choose to keep the snow ledges on the sides?
And is that your Chevy in the background? That is my wife's dream car BTW.
At first I was shocked by the red paint on the window trim and mirror brackets. Now I am a fan of that choice.
What is the plan for the front grill space? I kind like the black hole look it has now. Making me think about powder coating my mesh grill black.

i have a 99 that i brought back from a stored car...only two years and it's a ongoing project. i commend you on your work....it's a nice looking project car that appears to have all the small details taken care of, truely brought back from he dead.
There was mention of crome wheels someplace...my car has the, they appear to be jag wheels, just like the ones that came off your car, but chrome with the green jag center caps. they are pitting a bit now, mostly in places you cannot see from looking at them, but still in good shape.
my car has 46,000 miles and is a convertible, burgundy with white seats....black top.
its a wonderful car to own, i did not see that coming, i enjoy it immensely even thought it is not like anything i own and enjoy other wise. truelove and refined ride.

Why did you choose to not integrate the tail light housings into the fenders? They have that "bolted on aftermarket" look now. I do like the round lenses just wish they were not so obviously unoriginal. I had given it some thought but after consideration I decided I liked the "bolted look" I felt it made it look more :track like"
What's up with the yellow door? Shed looks very "serial killer inside" too. I assume you don't like clowns either?
You pained the whole car, right? So why did you choose to keep the snow ledges on the sides? LOL
And is that your Chevy in the background? That is my wife's dream car BTW. Its another project in the works
At first I was shocked by the red paint on the window trim and mirror brackets. Now I am a fan of that choice. Thanks I think it gives a cleaner look
What is the plan for the front grill space? I kind like the black hole look it has now. Making me think about powder coating my mesh grill black. That is a black mesh grill painted flat black
