I'm a newbie on the site, but really been impressed with what I've seen, so thought I'd post a question to see if someone might be able to help me.

I'm building a 1952 Jaguar XK120 coupe. This will be a resto-rod as the body is stock, but just about every thing else is modified. Engine is a Jag six cylinder, but with double the horsepower. Five speed overdrive transmission, Jag independent rear end, air conditioned, power steering, power brakes, etc.

What I'm looking for is a shop that I can contract with for design assistance with the chassis and running gear details. I'm an old (76 years) hot rodder, and came from the time when, basically, you just chromed everything. I realize that's not the style now, and I'm looking for some professional assistance. I contacted Kindig, as his style is what I want, but never heard back from him. I'm guessing he has better things to do than mess with a job like this.

When finished, the car will be a show car for a couple of years, both in hot rod shows, and in Jaguar Concurs in their modified class. Then I'll be driving it in Vintage rallies.

Appreciate any leads that anyone might have.

Thanks
Jim
