Concourse Restoration

Jaguars are essentially hand-built automobiles causing some minor individual variation.  Concourse judging dictates that the vehicle cannot be better than original or it loses authenticity.  With this in mind, the vehicle was completely disassembled and stripped to bare metal. 

Disassembled, ready for stripping.

  
Lead and metal repairs being done to body after stripping.

All hardware was re-plated, all repairs were done using lead and metal finishing exclusively, and every part was repaired or replaced to that specific vehicle’s factory original condition.

Finished and ready for concourse.
