Jaguar E-Type - all 6-cylinder - LH Shut Face Panel - Repair SECTION

          This is the LOWER SECTION of the LH Shut Face panel for all 6-cylinder E-Types.  Series 1 and 2 cars have a different shut face panel, but this portion is the same for either Series - coupes, roadsters, and 2+2's.  This panel is patterned after an original E-Type.  It is correct in every dimension - including the thickness, the location and angles of the bends, and curvature of the lower flange - VERY important in this piece!  We recently went to GREAT LENGTHS to make sure that these panels are EXACT!



        VERY Common Problem...  The shut face panel is very often rusted in the bottom inch or so - common when rust in the B-post area gets bad.  It also rusts due to the interior vinyl and padding on the inner sill trapping moisture.  The full shut face panel CAN be purchased, but it is ALMOST NEVER rusted more than 1 or 2 inches - this panel is 4 inches high - it covers the entire shut face panel below the door latch.



        See the additional photos of this piece being used on E-Type shells in our shop.  Replacing the complete shut-face panel is MUCH more involved - there is a support welded directly to it from behind, AND the upper section of it is FULL of lead from the factory - plus it's hard to get out in general...  Replacing just the lower rusted section is a MUCH better way to go.


       This piece is exactly 4 inches high above the seam with the inner sill.  We recommend fitting this panel, and trimming it down to use as little of the panel as possible.


          NOTE:  We also have the other side, AND a repair panel for the external skin around the corner between the rear edge of the door and the rear wheel arch.

          

          MORE ACCURATE than anything else out there!  

E-Type panels are just "kind of the right shape" when supplied by other manufacturers - ours are EXACT!  This panel is delivered in fresh, bare steel, ready for the quality primer and paint of your choice - you will not have to spend time stripping off the low-quality, black "shipping primer" that some other manufacturers use...

See our other auctions - MANY panels are available for E-Type Shells and Bonnets!

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 your complete shell restoration NOW!  We are busy with multiple E-Type shells and bonnets all the time, and spots book up quickly - so don't wait to call!  We have restorable Series 1 and 2, Coupe, roadster and 2+2 tubs with straight roofs and quarters in stock - plus a large selection of doors, decklids, hatches, hinges, bonnet pieces, etc.  Don’t wait until your car is all stripped down – call now and we’ll start building a solid tub TODAY and exchange it for yours when it is ready!

                 

            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!
