Good to see Fuller's progress. I had not seen it in paint!
Thanks for posting the pictures. The picture on the left with the streamliner in paint shows progress since I was there just a year ago which is...
Double post!
I fit easily inside the cockpit at 5' 10 and 185#. It is 29 ft long if I remember correctly. No steering wheel and twin levers to steer as I remember.
Been there and sat there last year. The driving position is behind the front wheels and forward of the flathead mid engine. As indicated, you are...
I believe that if you have a 1971 Jag front suspension it will be series 1 and have the 3 puck calipers. Unfortunately, parts for those calipers...
The change year is supposed to be 1988 which means that you should be ok. Look at pictures like in Holmseys build link above and compare it to...
I spent a great day with Kent (supposed to call him Fuller!) about 6 weeks ago on a west coast trip. What a great guy. The 2X4 story is pure Fuller.
My memory is that Holmsey soft mounted his Jag. I soft mounted mine. If the frame rail width is close to the Jag mounting width it is certainly...
The aftermarket gennie, ford styled steel wheels (take the dog dish caps) that I purchased for my 49 Ford Pickup do fit over the shoulder on the...
Thanks for the response. I am familiar with them and have had their catalogue for years (even before they were sold and moved the business)....
I sent you a pm. I cannot find a supplier of 5/8" x 3/16" steel half oval. Any help much appreciated. I only need 3 feet of stock. Can you help?
The above portion of my previous post explains the process. Place the level fore and aft in the center of your crossmember and on top of it.
As I previously indicated I have been thinking that my springs, which came off an early series Jag were a bit on the soft side. Looking at earlier...
If I recall correctly, the washers are 1/8 " thick each and each washer removed lowers the suspension by 1/4". I had 4 on each side that I removed...
Did you remove all of the large diameter height adjustment washers that sit, as I remember, under the bottom of the spring? As an aside, I believe...
The 1989 xj6 IFS differs from the earlier IRS that a number of us have installed. I suggest that you find a pre 87.
Dave, Good to see you join in on this thread. Dave, aka Holmsey, created a great build record on his F100. I highly recommend going onto his...
The 86 Jag will be a series 3 which is what you want. I would go and get it. You can sell the rear IRS if you do not use it and other part outs...
Steve, When you get a chance look up the link that I provided on Kent Fuller. I have a trip planned to Ca in January and am going to try and see...
Steve/Langy, My apology for the spelling error. The info about seeing crack develop is good input. I have not seen anyone fess up to cracks as a...
Langly, I agree that welding the subframe is not as desirable as soft mounting it which is why mine is also soft mounted. Soft mounting a subframe...
The jag rubber mounts fall under the centerlines on my F-1 Ford truck frame rails. The outside dimension on the frame rails is 32 inches. I would...
That should do it!
I like your upper shock mount idea. It is simpler that what I did which is to fab a mount coming off the top of the frame rail. In my case it is...
I checked out your blogspot. I see pics of both the "log style" exhaust manifold and headers with the sbc. Have you fit up your steering column,...
In a word, no. It does not mean that it couldn't be done. You could be the first!
Made my Stainless steel radiator shroud out of 2 steam table pans. I liked the rounded corners. Fab pics on link below:...
I put one under my 49 F-1. They fit like a glove. I chose to soft mount mine with the original mounts since the stock mounts fall under the 48-52...
[IMG] Shockmount fabricated for my F-1. The angle can be either welded or bolted to the frame rail. In my case it neatly fits in the original...
