    Considering the access Galpin gave to him, I'd expect a visit of the son to the father.

    I have two opinions on this car, if anyone cares.
    I love the rear end; all of the movement is dazzling.
    Now, what I am not a fan of, those are not flames... its fire, big difference.

    I could pick out a number of details that I would not choose, but so long as he's enjoying it, more power!
    I've started this with Jag IRS pics, so that's a given positive! If you have ever followed a rod with a polished jag, the light show sticks in your head.
    Unfortunately, they didn't include a shot here.

    This has a ton, but the only IRS shown even a little is at 40 seconds in, in shadow. :(

    I grew up in the 70s and they were lots of these around. I thought about getting one of these many times

    I believe that this may be OT.:)

    That accentuates one of the issues with the jag V12, the ignition right in the middle of the Vee.
    Hard to make custom, a mess to service. Talk about an engine that cries out for a modern distributor-less conversion.

    Not exactly Batgirl, or Catwoman, but the Dynamic Duo would've been helplessly captivated by that one! Better outfit, too! :D . I'd ask what the C-C stands for, but... ;D .

    I try not to beat on other people's builds, but I sure hope that tie rod is plated, not real brass!

    In other news, I HAD ( :cool: ) to take the T out today and swing by the post office. Got a few pics for thru your OT windshield thread and weighed it. I expected it to be close to or more than before at 2180. It was 1960!
    Both of those include 200# of me.
    I've replaced the floor, windshield (both heavier) and gas tank (roughly same) wheels/tires (lighter). Now this is the local landscape yard, not certified, but the same scales. I still need to do some reinforcement and an interior plus other changes, but I'm happy.

    Found this one of FB, it has some things I'd do different, but looks decent and fun!
