    Gorgeous Thomas. Your cutting edge art (don't kid yourself...it's nothing less than that!!) inspires the rest of us.
    I suppose a "how-to" on putting in that Jag rear end would be too much to ask? If so, I completely understand. Good luck on the rest of the project. Sincerely; John B.

    It seems as if the front picture has vanished - it was here a day or two ago. Maybe he'll post another one.

    dont worry steve,....I have to give tom crap :D besides,...he did ask if he could use it before he "stole it" since mine wont be finished as quik as his will be. I'll at least give him that ;) besides,....I'm a bit more conservative when it comes to posting progress(that and the fact I dont have a way to do it:D .)

    It's OK, I won't get worried until you guys start putting chevrolet parts in your Mavericks!!!!:eek:

    Ford owns Jaguar now so I can let the rear end thing slide!!:D

    Did you say Chevy parts hmmmmmmm.

    Thanks for all the praise, I love doing this type of work. I think it is easier to do this type versus making them stock like dennis did or puting in EFI like GS Johnson, Ken M and others have done.

    If what I'm working on didn't turn out right I just either make it work or head in another direction. These other guys have to redue it to get it right. I don't have the pacients to do what these guy have done.
