lil leatherique on the dash and youre gold.

I love old batmobiles, ive worked on the semi-auto ones, and its insanely complicated. The old German dude i worked with actually spit on the floor when one came in.

And please park that jag on tarmac. i can hear it rusting through my monitor.

The Jag is on the road, she was out there for a couple days so I could stay focused on the project at hand.

I had never even heard of a fin tail mercedes. An then two of them in one thread, looks amazing and good luck!

haha thanks a lot man!

didnt know you got that Jag. Any engine bay shots? Im curious how that all fits in there

I actually haven't taken any shots of the bay yet. I'll definitely get some.
just a stock 350 with a 2 barrel carburetor.

They're a common swap since GM transmissions bolt up to the Jag drive shafts.
And the XJ's came with a straight 6 and v12, so the v8 fits in there perfect! No seriously cutting or notching required!

thanks man!

and yea, Ive wanted one for a while now as well, pretty stoked to finally have one!

[foxtrot wagon]

Got the brake pedal assembly and the master cylinder bracket out of the brown tail.




Since the brown tail doesn't have a clutch master cylinder, the bracket only has a port for the brake master.

So I need to swap over the bracket from the white tail since it has both brake and clutch master ports.





Both brake and master cylinders are in the brown tail.




And the pedal cluster is also in!
