Tear-down
The first order of business was to pull the bonnet apart. This also gave me back some much-needed space – which is at a premuim until the new shop is completed! There weren’t any big surprises here – the underside … Continue reading

Project Overview
I went to look at this E-Type in it’s current shop to give my opinion and an estimate on the project. The car was well stripped down when I arrived, and I was able to get a good view of … Continue reading

Chapter 6 – Chuck’s Big Secret
My Jag had a small-block Chevy in it – and it still does. There – I’ve said it… Now don’t freak out – this was inevitable, as you’ll see, and it wasn’t my idea either. I have a beautiful ’67 … Continue reading

Chapter 5 – American Graffiti
So we brought the Jag home on a Tuesday night in early May of 1986. Our house was in your basic suburban development – NOT the kind of place you worked on cars like this… The house was built on … Continue reading
