my JAGUAR IS SHORTER! mid engine coupe?

The fun continues on the Daytona jag coupe! Its now 29" shorter than yesterday! lots of welding to do now, then lots of custom work to make the roof and rear fenders! I'm thinking there won't be to many jags like this one... mid engine, small block ford coupe.

My 81 V12 mothballed for 10 years got excited watching this.

I"m back for your second video George, I'm thinking you pretty much have me hooked already. It will be nice to watch the progress and see what you come up with. To get your body lines to line up, run a tape line along your front fender and door, back to the back half. Then you can step beck to see what you have... Thumbs up !

[@myclassicfords3658]

Thanks very much!

[@bm0078]

Totally impressed with the back of the back door fitting in so well! Great forsight on you7r part my man... also, I like that from the first video, you mentioned the most important part of the finished car.. CRAB WALKING.. Great that you have that in mind all through your project.. I,m addicted too this build!!!

[@myclassicfords3658]

Thanks a lot!! And yes I definitely will be doing more measurements and cross checking before final welding! Thanks for watching!!

[@ervinraddatz3117]

Very impressive; We learn together. That's quite an accomplishment what you were abel to do without any help. Thanks for taking us along.

[@myclassicfords3658]

Thank you! It can be challenging to work alone.. but I always win the argument!

[@fyou4122]

You can use aluminum foil to cover windows and dash. It don't set on fire from sparks. Cardboard no good. Stick with original screen. You can get it polished. Or polish it your self. Think they use a diamond paste. I seen it done. It works good. Uncover the dash. Sand and grind down plywood until good and body fill strand glassware. and recover. Why work so hard.

[@myclassicfords3658]

True, and good points!

Those are a very unique car for sure, just looked it up. Never even heard of one before! Thanks for watching!

[@brucewitcpalek5120]

I think you need to show more of your work for example, when you push the two pieces together, we don’t have no idea what it looks like inside so if you could show that I think that would really be cool. Just trying to help you out here and keep up the great work.

[@myclassicfords3658]

Will do, thanks for sharing. I like the feedback other wise I’m guessing! Thanks for watching!

[@brucewitcpalek5120]

The very first thing I noticed, is your hat, can’t go wrong with that hat on !! Bad Chad inspired me and a lot of people I do believe. I seen your comment on a bad Chad video earlier today and that’s why I came over here to check you out. I think you’re doing a great job and I will come back every video. Remember this is your build so don’t let people talk you into doing it a different way, at least that’s my advice. 🙂🍻✌🏼😎

[@myclassicfords3658]

Thanks for the support !

[@markgrant2987]

Hi brill video. I'd measure from centre wheel front and back both sides or the car will crab going down the road. Cheers

[@myclassicfords3658]

Yup you are absolutely correct, thanks for watching!

[@MrGaryjames1]

someone i knew years ago did this to an xj he owned it was truely bloody awful and was woeful to drive and was so so dangerous.

[@Hazzy238]

Great work. The sound is a bit rough though. I think Chaddy uses clip on mics, might be the way to go? Thanks.

[@myclassicfords3658]

Ok I will definitely work on that, thanks for the advice. And thanks for watching!

a daytona or an mg??

Ya might want to get a couple ratchet straps and suck the back half up with those just to keep it in place while you are getting the body lined back up. That could keep it from bouncing around.

[@myclassicfords3658]

Yes! Great idea, thanks for sharing!

[@JackBWatkins]

It’s wheelbase is 4 inches shorter than a TR6 and 6 inches shorter than a Daytona Coupe. But it sure looks assume.

[@myclassicfords3658]

Yup you are right! I’m thinking about putting 8-12” back in the front! Thanks for watching!

[@JackBWatkins]

@@myclassicfords3658 The car is already the same length as a Daytona. But I agree the hood needs to be longer. I’m not building it, but 8-12 might be too much. Chad would ask Jolene, you should ask your female consultant. Then do what you want. I’ll keep watching.

If you have the cash buy a new windshield, otherwise just get some cutting compound and a bluffer and you will be surprise how good it will come up.

That may just be worth a try! Thanks for sharing!

do you have a plasma cutter it makes it a lot faster to cut big grinders are verry dangerest the big disks can come apart i had a run in with one 4 ligments 1 artery and 2 nervs a big mess

[@bossbuick8615]

it looks to short by a foot

[@myclassicfords3658]

It’s a bit short still, I want to stretch the front. I’m going for a similar design to a Daytona coupe. Thanks for watching!

[@milnerbeck]

at least check the wheelbase for a starter point then run a straight edge along body line to align them by eye balling it will not do anything

[@myclassicfords3658]

Yes sir you are right, I will get to that next. I’m still in the rough in stage. Thanks for the tip and thanks for watching!
