Yep, I’ve seen that rabbit before, Lee!
 I’ll should throw it all back together before I get to far along. Nah…not the SuperDave way!  Cheers Dave

Holy Crap, Dave, what about the BMW. I can't multitask, so I'm losing my mind following your projects. I have brakes to redo on one '67 and I'm awake at night thinking about that.

----I might just be in the minority but I love the original color! My father bought a 65 XKE roadster new in England and had it shipped himself. He wanted one, but was always a tad cheap. My brother still has it (he got it thru the will) and although we don't communicate I believe it probably still has less than 20,000 original miles. These Jags are just so cool in some of the rarer colors. His was Primrose Yellow....Bill S

 I have a hard time keeping track of my projects too. Middle of the night is the best time to go out in the shop and do what you are thinking about while it's fresh. By morning, I've already forgotten what I was doing.This is a true story, I ran a repair business from my home garage in the 70's. No internet or "google" to look up help. More than once, I would finally get tired of trying things and would go to bed and wake up at 1-3 am with a new idea and go out in the garage and do that and many times it worked.

Oh, don't fret Tim! Work continues on the 507 despite this tangential deviation!
A few hours here, a few hours there, and apparently I've also been tasked with building a "mini-horse" trailer next month too. Anything else? Next up on the 507 is top frame final fitment and I need to get it back out to spray the high build primer on it. Door shell inner structure will follow after that. Nice to meet you too, Bill, and you too other Bill! The Willow green (original color) is a little soupy colored for my liking.Cheers Dave

Happy to report that after a month the wiring is complete!
What a nightmare. But, pretty much everything electrical is new which solves pretty much all the problems I was having. I’ll send the old rocker switches over to NJSteve since i know this year’s Christmas lights extravaganza may need some individual control  and these 1amp flimsy rocker switches are just the ticket to a fun-filled light show….in not so many ways  Now I have a stock looking panel again and Lucas, the English Prince of Darkness Electrical Demon, is safely tucked into new wiring so he should be contained until the next victim, er, owner, gets the car! I also replaced the transmission fluid with Redline MT-90 which is what the Jag guys swear by, apparently, so smoother shifts. In final fluid flushing fortitude, I replaced the canister oil filter with a spin on adapter. Just a few minor things to redo (carpet, button the interior back up) and I’ll be back on the road. That’s enough Jag right now. Time to get back on the 507!!!! Cheers Dave
