AMT Jaguar E Type Gasser Project
After watching American Pickers recently, where a vendor had owned a ’65 E Type for over 40 years, but had replaced the unreliable, expensive, Jaguar Engine with a 350 Chevy V8. Glenn looked at the sad old kit (which was largely complete) and thought he could remake it with a few upgrades....
An AMT V8 from the Willy’s gasser fitted in quite well, Glenn had to spread the front sub-frame rails a little, and used the narrowest heads & rockers, and exhaust manifolds from spares box. Ignition leads are cotton coated wire. Twin carb inlet manifold & trumpets went on, a hole was cut in the bonnet for this to poke through
The clear window moulding was trimmed out to allow the roll cage to fit, and a wind screen made from clear sheet & curved to fit. A Tamiya Mini Cooper driver seat, and frame under E Type passenger seat to lift it up a little. a fuel tank & filler went in with filler hole in hatch.
A Tamiya Subaru provided a Radiator, steering rack, roll cage, fire extinguisher, floor mounted electric control boxes & gear-lever. Minilite wheels from An AMT Capri were fitted to the E Type suspension, and arches carefully “dremelled” out to accommodate them.
Humbrol gold sprayed body & various American decals including Hot Rod club & Chevy parts specialist ones, with black plate Cal Reg Plates. Mirror & dash decals from the Tamiya mk2, seat belt decals from Interdecal, Germany. Side exhaust pipes made up & bare metal foil on the sills. Wipers are metal from SRC slot car Spain.
