OK, NOW we're getting somewhere! This video looks at the tedious process of fitting all of the tail panels on this 1967 E-Type OTS roadster - a vintage racing car that was crashed last year at Lime Rock, CT.

Good morning Chuck, those jig fixtures you have devised are much more user friendly than the factory frame benches. You have literally built that car from thin air. Good luck and take care.

Great work Chuck as usual. All I can say is this is better than watching my favorite shows on Netflix. I wish I had access to all of these informative videos 18 years ago. I got rid of my 64 roadster shell thinking it was beyond repair. Seeing how the floors, bulkhead and body panels are assembled and in what order, I know now it could have been saved. I still have my numbers matching fully rebuilt rally race ready engine for a body. Still looking for a decent donor body.

I am finding these videos fascinating to watch. That jig of yours is a thing of wonder. Great work 👍

Watching the great master at work is a treat. Are you planning on making that rear end a “bolt on” for future quick repairs ? 🤣

It is hard to understand that Jaguar could sell the E types for 6K or so. They seem to be vary labor intensive. Nice work. You da man 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Chuck, as always outstanding. Gives us all the confidence to plan, measure and try. The time it takes to prepare and commit … vitally important. The key I learned is measuring and trial fitting before grabbing the welding gun!

Seeing this makes me very confident that you'd have no problem converting my S2 coupe to a roadster. Please! :) This would also give you the roof clip and internal panels from my FHC that would enable you or one of your customers to use these parts to convert a 2+2 into a FHC (with your floor sections).

I'm loving what you guys are doing, good old fashioned professional pride in your work to an extremely high standard, (proper old school), & certainly better than they left Brown's lane, TBF we were a bit under the cosh here in the U.K.back then & you guys in the U.S. did get most of the E's ever produced (export or die & all that!!) But what your doing with these fabulous cars is a credit to yourselves & the marque, Thank you for what you do!!. ............. PS I'm off to Goodwood Members Meeting next weekend to see some of these old girls doing the business ..... I'll be thinking of you guys.

Well done Chuck . It's pretty .......no ! It's very complex ! But the bottom line is,these cars were more or less hand finished and tolerances were " near enough is good enough!" .....) l think you know that. Keep up the great work !
