Well first of all Debbie, thank you for your comment. I am actually impressed that a descendant of one of the great pioneers in this field watched my video submission. I hope you enjoyed it. I was actually exposed to a 1918 Oldsmobile as a kid whereas my neighbor used to pull it out of his garage and give is kids a ride now and again. I do realize there were others before Ford, such as your great grandfather who made many important contributions to the automotive industry and in no way did I intend to take away from any of the early pioneers with what I submitted. If you note, I did state that Ford was a great contributor and the video mainly emphasized what most people know about cars is what they drive now, not where they started. I also explained that many of the controls on a Model T would not do what you would expect them to do. I do want to thank you for adding your input and I am impressed that I got to converse with a direct descendant to an automotive great! Ed

I’ve actually been thinking of wrapping it with something wild looking.

Thanks Chuck. How’s that B project coming along? I want to see some road action.

Now there you go getting my hopes up only to see the site cannot be found! I was hoping to see that thing go!!!

You need to add another video to your channel. I want to see. So when you say making it nice I presume you're talking paint? Mine is STILL primer, but... I'm actually getting ready to do my final body work, then paint. I've had the worst time deciding on a color though and I think that I've finally chosen it. Indigo Blue. It's a Dodge color for the new Charger. Please do another video though.

@@finallyitsed2191 -------HEY! My "B" goes in for paint(white)/bodywork Tuesday, new chrome and stainless and ordering some Rocket Ignitor (polished) wheels for it this week too. Then I'll put up a couple videos (probably April). P.S. my "B" is running great.--------Your Jag will look great in that Blue, good choice.-----------Chuck

Charles Royer I’m looking forward to seeing this. BTW Rocket wheels are a great choice and will look perfect on that killer car. Fun hobby, huh? There’s something satisfying knowing the car you are driving was built by your own two hands.

@@finallyitsed2191 --FUN YES----------expensive, yes--------- worth it ABSOLUTELY

@@mgbchuck6527 where are you on your B??

Thanks Charles. I’m getting excited.

@@finallyitsed2191 You should be

Wow.. another Jag guy. Cool. Is yours a 6 or 12? Details man... I completely agree with the bumper swap too. If you need any parts, Ive got some trim stuff and original exhaust parts. I’m going with the no grill or front bumper look but I’m all over the place on paint schemes. I think I’ve finally settled on a dark burgundy to candy red upper on highlights.

@@finallyitsed2191 The color you describe sounds great, and a dark color is fitting for such a bad a$$ machine. I know a lot of guys like to discard the front bumpers when modifying a S3, but I prefer them in the '71 style. Also, I'd suggest keeping the grill but losing the surround and the vertical emblem bar that mounts to the grill. My car is a V12 with the original engine and manual trans. It's Old English White with red interior, factory disc wheels and A/C. The only mods to the engine are a gutted air pump and a few of the other emissions bits that never worked anyway. I upgraded the suspension with an oversize torsion bar and hard poly bushings everywhere. The improvement in handling, feel, and precision of steering was just jaw dropping!

Steven, I think the roadster is the best looking body style of all and would love to see your car. You should set up a channel and post some pics and a video or two. Only the best of the best cars (still) have 12 cylinders! When I was a kid, my neighbor had a 65 roadster and I thought the headlamp covers made it look like a race car. What part of the US are you?
