Series 1 Jaguar XKE rebuild - Done....well, almost

[landman]

Light work today. Ground the underside if my wire headlight bezel flat and soldered it shut.

 

Made some lenses out of  packaging plastic and used 7mm. Scale production lenses. Don't worry about the apparent glue gobs, that stuff dries clear.

Adding stuff. The old bugaboo that comes here and makes me drop stuff and smear paint at finishing time is back.

The same with the one eyed, one horn,purple parts eater. He came and ate one parking light bezel along with the lens and one taillight lens. Have to make new ones.

It was a major struggle to get the body halves together. They just wouldn't close. So I MADE them close.

After the war of the clamps, there were so many smudges and thumbprints I ended up reshooting the sides. There is still one front turnsignal to shape & paint and to add the license plates.
