Lindberg Jag xk 140

[btaylor]

Just got this one finished, It is a Lindberg Body on a Carrera 57 T-bird chassis, Just found out this weekend what the parts box wheels came from, Apparently they are scaley Maserati! Motor is an MT-1 That Harry sent me, driver is a Shotgun Resin,Tires are PG's, Color is Olive Drab,with clear coat. Turning in to one of my favorite cars!
Built it to run with my MG.

That is a beauty! Nice job on it! I have one of those bodies and a old Highway Pioneers Jag kit that I want to get built.

Jeff, if you go the plastic route on the chassis,try a Carrera T-bird, it is scary how well it fits!
Thanks Dave, I kinda like it myself,sometimes they just click? :lol:

Not to hijack, but are you still making that driver Dave? Bob I do have a extra T bird!

Nice work. I'd rather the extra curves and finer grill on the 120, but I do love these Jags. The 150 leaves me a little cool though.

Thank You Ember, A bad built Jag would not get past you!, so it must be OK. I just scored this little jewel also.

Thanks Harry!, My collection of sporty cars is growing pretty fast!,If you look at my parts list, it is kind of a group effort.

Nice one! It is amazing how well the chassis fits. I just wonder what's happening to those T-Bird bodies? :)

Great job. What did you doto improve the handlng? The frame is the old single mag one, thats whats under my tbird. Did you use an mt-1 motor? What gearing? Any chance of a frame shot. I have several classics on my list of to do over the winter, a 300 sl and the 57 bird are among rhem.

Also I recall a thread on some D jag upgrades, anyone know where it lives???
Looking forward to your next project.
