He spotted the pumpkin as a Salisbury, the IRS half shafts as maybe starting out in an XKE, but it did not have inboard rotors, or the funky Jag trailing arms, and it only had one coilover per side, had aluminum uprights for the hubs, and was adjustable for toe. He whistled and asked "how in the hell did you do that?" I told him "I didn't." Now, on the other hand, I bet I've been asked "why do you have those wires on your wheels?" a thousand times.:LOL:

Haha, on the safety wires, yeah I could see answering that more than once might get annoying.
I really don't care what anyone else thinks, or if they can tell if it looks original or not. I will know it is a replica, I just want as close to the actual experience as I can get, but at a reasonable (to me) price point. I just don't want to step into the garage every time and look at it and start thinking "this doesn't look right, that doesn't look right" etc. |

Vintage 5-Bolt adapters only way to go! I second that!

Thanks to all who have replied, it has been helpful. It is a bit difficult to respond because of the site glitches, currently.
