Jaguar E-type, Xke Bonnet S1 Headlamp "sugar Scoops" - Better Than Original!!! on 2040-parts.com

Take a look at these new "sugar scoops" - properly formed and less prone to losing their shape with a wider flange! - this is a pair of 2 "sugar scoops" for the inside of the Series 1 headlamp opening.  These pieces are made from mild steel and rolled with a wider flange at the end that does not interfere with any fitment of the part, but does add much additional strength so that these will not lose their shape in shipping, when fitting, when you drop them on the floor, etc...

These are supplied in bare steel, ready to be properly primed and coated with the modern paints of your choice - usually a hammered silver finish.  Other suppliers provide these already painted, BUT...  the paint is not quite right, the finish is abysmal, and they don't prime the pieces first.  So all you end up with are pieces that need to be stripped and re-finished right out of the box.  We finally started making these because every time our sister shop bought a set, they arrived bent and needed to be re-formed, blasted bare, and re-painted.  To solve the shape issues, we have widened the reinforcing flange along the back edge.

We make these in small batches and they move quickly - if you need a set, grab them while they are available!

Satisfaction 100% GUARANTEED! – All Monocoque Metalworks panels are guaranteed to be manufactured correctly, fit properly, and be suitable for a 100-point concours restoration.

MONOCOQUE METALWORKS

            Monocoque Metalworks  is a fabrication shop located in Northeastern Maryland that specializes in Jaguar E-Type (XKE) body shell restoration.  If you are restoring your E-Type, the best place to start is a rock-solid bodyshell (or tub), and we can help!  We offer services ranging from the fabrication of a single panel to the construction of an entirely NEW bodyshell!

            FABRICATION AND SHIPPING OF ORIGINAL OR CUSTOM BODY PANELS – we have patterns and examples of nearly every E-Type panel and can fabricate any panel you need for your restoration.  Before you spend hundreds (or thousands) of dollars on Martin Robey panels that may or may not fit properly, give us a try!  OR, call us as the ONLY supplier of many of the smaller, internal panels that Martin Robey doesn’t supply (or lists in their catalog but don’t actually produce…)  Want some extra holes punched? – or some original holes not included? – or the panel produced in a heavier gauge? - no problem!

            COMPLETE RESTORATION OF YOUR TUB – we will take in your monocoque bodyshell, strip it down to bare metal, and replace all damaged or rusted panels using the proper techniques.  Your shell will be returned to you in primer, dead straight, rock-solid, safe, and EXACTLY as it left the factory.

            TUB EXCHANGE – looking to save time?  Exchange your existing monocoque bodyshell for one of our already restored shells (subject to availability).  You’ll arrive at the shop, unload your shell, and load up a completely restored, PERFECT shell and be back on your way in a few hours!  With this service, we can cut your project time down by YEARS!  Plus, you can exchange one body style for another – drop off a Coupe or 2+2 shell and take home a roadster!

            TUB MODIFICATION – we can “beef up” your tub with heavier gauge components for vintage racing, or add complete sub-frames, roll bars or cages.  If you can imagine it, we can fabricate it!

            FABRICATION OF AN ENTIRELY NEW TUB – we can build you an entire floor assembly with sills, gussets, tunnel, etc. – a complete cowl/firewall assembly – or an entirely NEW bodyshell!

            COMPONENT RESTORATION – We will happily restore any piece you care to ship us and return it to you in as-new condition.  This includes, but is not limited to: bonnet components, heaters, door shells, decklids, coupe hatches, etc.

            E-Type restoration is a labor of love at Monocoque Metalworks!  The shop is outfitted with INDUSTRIAL GRADE MACHINES – many of which are vintage machines themselves – carefully restored and modified with the correct tooling to produce perfect E-Type panels.  As a result, you will be amazed by the crisp cuts, straight bends, and perfect holes found on our panels!  We have forming capabilities that include shearing, braking, rolling, wire-edging, bead-rolling, notching and punching – in aluminum, steel, or stainless steel - up to and including 16-gauge (.060) or beyond.  We utilize a combination of MIG, TIG, Spot, and Plug welding to ensure that your car is assembled with factory-like originality, coupled with strength and safety you can depend on!

            Over 25 years of automotive restoration experience, specializing in E-Types.  My first car was a 3.8 roadster, and I have driven, raced, wrecked, and restored these cars ever since.  I know the cars intimately, and can provide references attesting to that fact.  However, restoring the E-Type’s monocoque shell has always been my true passion!  Let me indulge myself on your project – you will not find a more experienced and enthusiastic partner for your restoration!

            BOOK NOW for the 2012 Fall restoration season!  We are already booking work for the late Summer and Fall - so don't wait to call, lock in your spot now!  I have restorable Series 1 Coupe and 2+2 tubs with straight roofs and quarters in stock, and can supply roadsters as well - plus a large selection of doors, decklids, hatches, hinges, bonnet pieces, etc.  And you don't have to wait until your car is all stripped down – call now and we’ll start building a solid tub TODAY and exchange it for yours later this year!

            Located just outside of Newark, DE, with easy access to I-95.  No job is too big or too small!  Give us a ring and let’s discuss your project – whether it’s one panel or the restoration of an entire body shell, we can handle it – with the attention to detail and ENTHUSIASM you’re looking for!
