Sheet metal pieces
Getting ready for the panel beater, I have acquired new sills, new b pillar shut panels, a battery box repair assembly, and some other odds and ends. I wait for the spare tire tray and for the boot floor.
No, Zach, these were purchased from a manufacturer/supplier in Springfield, MA. For the most part the quality is pretty good. Typical shortcut type manufacturing problems, but nothing that can't be fixed. The battery box is the worst.
He was quite active on the jag-lovers list a number of years back, though I'll admit that I've not followed it nearly as closely as I did previously for the past... decade?
Is all of this your handy work? Is there a sheet metal brake hidden in the corner of your garage? Can an English wheel be far behind?

ReplyDeleteWould those be the product of a Mr. S?
ReplyDeleteNo, a Mr. V.
ReplyDeleteAh, okay, wasn't who I was thinking it might be.
ReplyDeleteYou know of Wray? http://www.hubgarage.com/classifieds/1254
ReplyDeleteYou can call me Wray, or... No, I don't know about him. Fill me in.
ReplyDeleteZach- I missed the link earlier. Wray's class looks mighty impressive. I unfortunately need to learn to weld first.
