I've done a number of conversions and swaps and they don't always come out as nice as one would like... as I get older I get better at them, but still... they're never as perfect as I would like... I have high hopes for Superdawg because I'm using a proven drivetrain in an FSJ chassis... won't be fast, but will be reasonably economical and amazingly simple and reliable... thanx Stephen and Dianne for the temptations... I'm learning that I can enjoy these temptations as eye-candy... one can enjoy the beauty of the engineering without operating (or repairing) it. :) love the look of the old Jags, but after driving one extremely beautiful one, I'm content to look at the pictures and marvel at it's beautiful lines every time I see it... a masterpiece... http://fotomeister.us/MISC-cars/Chucks-Jag-1july06/ALL.html (yes that's me grinning... :) http://fotomeister.us/MISC-cars/ChucksJag/ ----- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Snohomish, Washington -o|||||o- where Jeeps don't rust, they mold http://AMSOIL.com/redirect.cgi?zo=283461 si vis pacem, para bellum http://johnmeister.com http://wagoneers.com http://fotomeister.us - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ On Thu, 25 Feb 2010, Stephen Rigley wrote: http://bringatrailer.com/2010/02/21/bat-exclusive-1966-jaguar-e-type-project/ # # ;-) # ------------------------------ End of xj-digest V1 #3165 *************************
