Here are some details (almost 100% furnished by Glen Walden):
- Al Gerard will be there to answer any
questions!
- Mike has a nice garage workshop, here are
some of his cars:
- 1950 XK 120 OTS: This car originally
belonged to T. A. Wilson, President of the Boeing Airplane
Company. A frame-off restoration is well under way. Body panels
and individual parts have been painted and the car is being
assembled.
- Mark V sedan: This car is being assembled
with XJS front and rear suspension including disc brakes. A V-12
engine is being installed and will be fitted with a different
intake manifold and dual 4-barrel carburetors. Mike noted that
the manifold was produced locally for boat racing. Mike hopes to
eventually convert this car into a 2-door.
- 1967 E-Type coupe: This car is mostly
stock with what appears to be some rally modifications.
- 1967 E-Type OTS: The front frames have
been replaced. This provides an opportunity to see what is
involved in frame replacement.
- 1989 XJS Coupe
- 1941 Ford coupe: This is Mike’s rat rod or
what he calls his “Scrap Rod”. The body is mounted on a heavily
modified 1966 Chevelle chassis using a Chevrolet 350 cubic inch
engine and 700R Hydramatic transmission.
