The lower "floor" piece needs to be cut away back to the toe boards. the stone guards will fit between the floor from the toe board to the inner wheel wells and engine frame section. I can send an image of them if you need it, but I'd need your email. Speaking of inner wheel wells this kit doesn't come with them so you need to make them too. They are painted steel (typically gloss black.

Cool! Thanks! Yea extra pics would be nice. I’ve been told putting email in the comments section is a bad idea. I don’t know for sure. But here is my website; www.blueracecars.com . You can contact me from there. Thanks again!

And also. There is a company in England by the name P&K Thornton Restoration. They are highly specialized in restoring Jags and specially E-Types, although a bit bigger ones than yours. I’m sure they are happy to help you as work goes along. Maybe they’ll buy yours when it’s ready, who knows. Anyway, see you soon. Best regards M

Looking good. That’s a lot of detail work in all those parts.

I made the steering and suspension parts by casting them in a small electric furnace. I did try aluminium but got a better finish with brass.

Cool! That’s a good idea. I do have lost wax casting equipment, but I’m not very proficient with it yet, and I honestly didn’t even think of that for these parts. Thanks for watching and commenting!

I did mine with sand casting.

I do need to do more casting to get better with it. I think that could be a better way to make some of these parts.@@jerseyjag9021

That thing you thought might be the lower is actually a mounting bracket for the radiator header tank

Thanks. Yea, I see that now. I did manage to find the lowers from the other kit. They look easier to make. I think. Thanks again.

I took the kit uprights and cut/ holes to match the real car. Yours will be nicer, but I think mine’s about 80% for maybe 5% of the effort. I made disk calipers from evergreen because the kit doesn’t even have calipers. They’re rough, but will look realistic enough through the wheels. I’m roughing out a steering rack with evergreen rod/tube. Can’t wait to see what you do with that. Cheers! Chris.

I’m not sure yet how I’ll do those. Plastic would be easier…@@chriscraddock8327
