[@OLDMACK]

I started my day with you and ending my day with you,, Damn it boy you are a hard worker!!

[@myclassicfords3658]

Haha! Thanks, I’m having a lot of fun with this one. Glad you’re enjoying it!

[@reggiesparks4357]

Your camera work is better then jolenes....love that your taking your time .much more relaxed build then a big rush.feels good to watch and learn . Thx

[@myclassicfords3658]

Thank you very much! Thanks for the support!

[@shawnkane7152]

Agree with most as I stated yesterday. You have to be comfortable and ready to move forward and have the time with family as well. Just be sure to video even the minor things and you can put a video together on a few different days work. We will be here waiting to see the next move. Good job!

[@myclassicfords3658]

Thanks a lot I appreciate that!

[@clivemillington8452]

Hi yes you were lucky with the windscreen , even in the UK they are like rocking horse shit 👍👍😀😀

[@myclassicfords3658]

Hahaha! But yes very lucky, and lesson learned keep what you have as best as you can!

[@miguela.morales255]

Is not going to be a convertible, so the roof probably is going to be your most difficult task. Not only has to be functional but at the same time nicely done. An idea, but first, I'm not trying to tell you how to do your project but if you want, you can go to a junkyard and hunt for a hatchback roof and make it work. After all, you are talented, have the equipment and the desire to do something special. Good luck!💡🛠

[@myclassicfords3658]

Not a bad idea, it’s definitely worth a look! Thanks for the suggestion and thanks for watching!

[@larrydirks285]

Very interesting project. Keep up the good work.👍

You Are Doing A Great Job Sir Keep On

[@myclassicfords3658]

Thanks!

[@nigcor]

nice job so far ,remove the package tray and trunk hinges and move the hole thing back, cut the trunk lid in half ,chop the roof and reinstall the back window frame ,maybe a 4or5 inch chop fast back look.

[@myclassicfords3658]

Yes sir, that would be a good look. I am thinking about still wanting a trunk lid, it would make a slightly more functional design. Thanks for the input!

[@firemanack6486]

This is like looking behind the scenes of a magic show. We’re getting to see why the decisions begin and change while building.

[@myclassicfords3658]

I know where I’m going… just haven’t figured out how to get there yet. Lol thanks for watching!

[@JackBWatkins]

We aren’t going away, so stay rested during this build and spend time with the family. That said, I can’t wait to see the roof come together. 😊

[@myclassicfords3658]

Thanks a lot! And thanks for sticking around!

[@austinmorris3970]

Thumbs up 👍 really intreeged to see how this will pan out , its nice to find a new Interesting build .

[@myclassicfords3658]

Thanks! The support is very appreciated!

[@larrynason8716]

I really want to see just how you handle the roof and rear glass area.So many possibilites. I have always liked this Jag. body style, but it looks frumpy with 4 doors to me. I like the direction you are taking this car. You have a good eye for design.

[@myclassicfords3658]

Thanks a lot! This will be the jag they should have built!

Watching this he's giving Chad a run for our clicks.

[@Roger-hq1yt]

Whatever he builds from it the result couldnt be any worse than the useless junk chad makes.

[@brucewitcpalek5120]

Chad forgot more than most people will ever know, so if you don’t like him that’s one thing but I don’t think it’s right run him down on someone else’s KZbin channel. Remember, it was bad Chad who gave this fella the idea’s to go for it.

[@myclassicfords3658]

Absolutely, and remember “take what you like and throw away the rest” I support Chad and Jolene, they are very nice people. And I think there success speaks for itself.

[@johnmorrow7080]

Door aperture looks ok to me

[@patrickscanlon1631]

You work hard for your family step back and spend time with them your fans will be awaiting your next video no matter how ever long it takes no point making yourself ill over doing it

Maybe use the front of the back door frame in the jam all your shape is there

[@myclassicfords3658]

That would have been a good idea! I will be keeping that in mind!

[@edshedrestorations]

Hello I love anything jaguar. You say that you want to make it look like a Daytona. Is that Ferrari or ac.?. As hear in the UK. We would use a rover 3500 for the Daytona. Will be following your built.

[@myclassicfords3658]

I’m getting a lot of the inspiration from the Shelby/Peter Brock Daytona. That being said I’m keeping the 4 headlight jag front end. I’m envisioning a Jaguar version of a mid engine coupe. Thanks for watching!

[@danielryan2317]

It's a mg now, changes daily ✨️

[@myclassicfords3658]

I’m thinking by next week it should look more like a coupe! Thanks for watching!

[@ianallen2]

You are sloping the back, will you be making pie cuts in the back and sloping the panel back or replacing hte back panel. Are you keeping hte rear lights or changing them ? Looking forward ot the next vid. :)

[@myclassicfords3658]

I think I’m back to the thought of cutting the rear end off like the Daytona coupe, and making the new roof from scratch. Thanks for watching!

[@MacCustoms]

Loving this build! Can’t wait to see it come together!! Hope you check out our video Jan 25 @ 7pm AST to see what we are creating at our shop!!

[@geraldparker7008]

What about that beam you cut out of the floor could you trim it up and reuse it for strength in the floor where you cut it?

[@myclassicfords3658]

Possibly, I’m thinking at the moment I want to build a tube chassis throughout the car and may use that for the floor structure. Thanks for the idea and thanks for watching!

[@cadetect2915]

then you could open the trunk

[@alcyon1]

Perhaps a little more working than talking, oke 😊

Good point, I wanted to explain where I was taking the build next. My next videos I want to try to show as much fab as I can. Thanks for watching!

[@alcyon1]

@@myclassicfords3658 oke, you doing a great job.

[@morganmcdonagh2663]

I am sorry but this is really an awful idea. Why would you cut up a classic Jag? It's a classic design. It's sort of obnoxious to think you can change it

[@Joe.Doucette]

His car. His project. His ideas. And not everyone I've met thinks it a very "classic" design. I guess it depends on where you grew up, as well. Personal opinions are just that.. personal.

[@myclassicfords3658]

They are only opinions, and to be fair I know if someone cut up a car I like I would feel it. But that’s part of the drive to get it complete, so the soul of this car can have fun again!

[@Joe.Doucette]

Yup. Cutting up any pristine car could make many folks upset.. and I do understand that. I would rather not cut up a special car. Then again, many well known custom cars started out as nicely styled cars. We are all entitled to our opinion as to what should be done. I don't think that I have told someone that their idea was awful or obnoxious, online. I may think it though. ;) The nice thing is that it's only metal. If you don't like how it comes out you can just keep changing it until you do. :) Yes. Have fun! Otherwise... what is the point?
