Thanks L.H., those pics are from my gallery, were taken around 2001/2. I had rebuilt the engine while waiting for body & other parts from Kirkham. The guy I bought the car from introduced me to an older gentleman from the UK who had worked for Jaguar pounding out aluminum panels in the 50's /60's, and who had been in the US for some time. His business here was restoration of classic cars. He came and looked at the car before I bought it, and gave me a price of $2500 to repair the body!!! ( re-skin the hood, pound out a new left front fender from scratch!!!, and pound out a few other dents suffered in handling since the fire. I was expecting a bid of 3 times that much, but I thought I'd give him a try. By the time the car was stripped and ready for him,
he was tied up with other jobs, and over the next year or so, we were unable to get together, so I ordered the parts from Kirkham.
More later.
