Back home from work and into the shed spent most of the day measure measure measure but confident I now have the jag front end in the right spot and started making the mounting brackets
Played around with some patina ideas to match in after the rust repairs
And finished off with a couple of cold ones watching the sun go down

Back into it again, have all the marks and measurements to soft mount the ifs so dropped the front and rear ends on the ground and started the chassis clean up set up the rotisserie on it and turned it over, just love things that make jobs easier
started making up the mounting brackets for the front end

Thanks Dan and Scott, trying to get as much done as I can while I'm home working away has its good points but also its bad, means I got to squeeze as much as I can in before I'm off again, anyway welded in the back cross member and started boxing in the frame
Surprising how long it takes just doing that bit at a time so it doesn't get to hot, and once again finished off the day cleaning up

Hey Thanks Scott good eyes you got there, mounted the cab and moved the radiator to the forward mounting holes and is still a little tight,
I can still bring the motor back another inch which is what i will do , apart from that it looks fairly good sitting in there, got about just under 2 inches from the sump to cross member, was worried i might have to look at rear sump hump.
Set the carb mounting face to 0 degrees which i have heard gives a 3 to 5 degree angle at the transmission shaft ?
