The MAJOR FABRICATION BEGINS!! 76 jaguar XJ12

Tonight I have begun to start the long road of putting this car back together!
In this video I am building the structure of the car to hold it back together where it was cut in half just a week ago!

I am enjoying your build, you have a good voice and it is easy on my 82 years old ears, the idea of a Ford powered Jag made me love this project even more, I drive a 450 hp coyote powered mustang GT and my Harley Davidson Old Black Betty trike, I call her old heavy Betty in the public,, You have a fan in Alabama USA

[@myclassicfords3658]

Thanks a lot! I appreciate the compliment, it’s a fun project for sure!

[@brucewitcpalek5120]

Think you’re doing a good job and making it stronger than it originally would have been in my opinion. Exciting to watch this build. Looking forward to the next video. ✌🏼😎🥇

[@myclassicfords3658]

Thank you!

[@danromeo6571]

Definitely stronger 👍

[@eugenecarey698]

Very enjoyable, always watching for new videos 😁

[@myclassicfords3658]

Thank you, and thanks for watching!

[@larrynason8716]

I'm watching this at 2am. I think you've got me hooked on this project. 👍

[@myclassicfords3658]

Lol that’s usually about the time I finally get them posted!! Thanks a lot for watching!

[@Hazzy238]

A lot of Utube videos drag along , one a month is fairly common. You are making one a day !! Wow, that's fantastic. Thanks.

[@myclassicfords3658]

I’m really trying to build the car well, and at a reasonable cost. As well as trying to have it ready for summer! It’s a lot of effort, but it’s fun as well! Thanks for watching!

[@jaymorgan8017]

Try those renderings of what you want it to look like complete. It worked for Chip Foose. At first I didn't know what the goal was but when I found out the hard top cobra my interest piqued. I bet it would help the show progress. So many cool jag details can be incorporated, dual fuel fillers, those cool jag exhaust tips, make the nose a little xke ish.

[@myclassicfords3658]

Thank you, I think I’m going to try to draw a picture of the car and how I think I want it to look.

[@robertstevison1448]

Awesome progress brother wow !!! Take your time and enjoy your build !!!! Awesome

[@myclassicfords3658]

Thanks a lot!

[@johnjackett3138]

Coming along well...a lot of work in a short time..waiting to see more

[@myclassicfords3658]

Yes I’m really hoping to have the roof back together by the end of the week! Thanks for watching!

[@22YZ450FX]

Moving along fast! Great work! Put that V12 Jag motor on a Ford tractor next that'll get millions of views!

[@myclassicfords3658]

Haha that would be cool!

[@stranger2222]

It's coming along pretty good in my opinion, keep on keeping on.

[@myclassicfords3658]

I wish I had more time, certainly can’t waste much! Thank you for watching!

[@jimlarkin559]

Really kool build ,looking forward to seeing it finished ,like the fact that u r doing lots of videos each week , I know it a lot of work ,sure it will pay off ,good luck

[@myclassicfords3658]

Thank you, it’s a bit of work for sure. The support from the viewers is fantastic!

[@brucelindskog542]

Coul you maybe cut out the parts of the removed rear doors and weld them in as fillers. Just a thought from an unskilled observer.

[@myclassicfords3658]

Yes sir, and it worked pretty good! Thanks for watching!

[@firemanack6486]

Almost 1000! Making $oon 👍

[@myclassicfords3658]

@@myclassicfords3658 & thank you very much for subscribing!! Appreciate the support!

[@wonton8983]

Could you give narration as you go, on the tools you use, Mig wire size, settings, gas/gasless, grinding disc type etc. Would help us that dabble.

[@myclassicfords3658]

Absolutely, thanks for the feedback! And thanks for watching!

[@firemanack6486]

Mention you are closing your eyes when you tack ( for those that missed it)

[@myclassicfords3658]

lol and wearing 99% UV safety glasses! Thanks for watching!!

[@clivemillington8452]

I really hope your project ends up really well . As you have definitely thought this out well 👍🇬🇧 mini Chadman ?

[@myclassicfords3658]

Fingers crossed!

[@watahyahknow]

think yu shortened it a bit too far , to make it look like a coupe you shouldve stretched the front doors moving the middle pilars back along the roof to match then cut a piece off the rear door and fit it to the rear hole left after shortening the car (think about less than half the amount you have done ) and use the front and rear part of the rear door to make it look nicer , possible use the front and just cut the rear so it fits tightly against the rear fender sheetmetal

[@dannyhamlett9196]

Have not seen a video on the project lately

[@myclassicfords3658]

more to come!

[@jamesoganyan4025]

Will the back of the seat fit in there?

[@myclassicfords3658]

Yes, I think it should. Hope so! Before I cut the car I put the seat all the way back and measured it, should have the space. Thanks for watching!

[@DanHamlett-uk3yq]

Are you currently working on the project have not seen any videos

[@myclassicfords3658]

they are coming! going to try to upload in a couple weeks!

[@petermyers5793]

What the bloody hell are you doing man?

[@ianallen2]

Would be nice to see more working / welding than talking about it. Too much explaining. A bit like Bad Chad the hack. Makes a boring video to watch all the way through without skipping to the better parts.

[@myclassicfords3658]

I will definitely work on that, thanks for your input. It really helps me get better! Thanks for watching!
