It needs shackles and hangers.
the same axle that gave up the spring pack
The plan is to cut and turn the end.
There are two things in life where penetration is really important.....and one of them is welding.

TADA!!
I decided I need to see what the rear spring rate was like before I got too carried away with the front.....
The springs are soft on both ends. The rear sagged more than I was expecting. It needs to be adjusted up an inch or so.
I sent this pic to my wife and asked if the noticed anything different. ...her response was "new duck tape?"
red panels back on

That's coming along nicely, I've watched your project as long as you have been posting.
I have two brains, one is lost and the other is out looking for it

Good to see you back onto the Roofus Special as I have missed your updates mate, I liked the " new Duck Tape comment" from your observed wife too, made me chuckle. Looking good and is it on the floor for good now or will you put her back on the table to enable a better working height?I maybe a little crazy but it stops me going insane.

It will stay on the ground for a couple of weekends. I've been needing to roll it over and weld all of the bottom joints. I have to make myself do that before I get too much farther.

Photoshopped by a guy on another forum....vintage jag parts blended in for a fenderless XK120 look.

Wow, that is awesome looking, how does it make you feel, is it in line of the picture of the car that is in your head??I maybe a little crazy but it stops me going insane.

Very cool look!! It's good to have a visualization of the finished deal for motivation!Roger
Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

Looks great! It takes fortitude to build a car from the ground up like this. What do you have to do for titling a home built car in Kentucky?

All of that tropical moisture pumped in by the former hurricane made it difficult to get interested in doing anything in th shop. I did get some outdoor pics of my 1960 Jaguar MK2 though.

Hey, thanks for giving me that PhotoBucket Image File tip some time back! It worked great once I uploaded the proper sized files into the bucket!Roger
