The fourth in a limited production run of alloy-bodied tributes to the fabulous 1957 Jaguar XKSS. Car #004 will feature a 4.7L Stage Two engine producing around 390 HP and 425 ft/lbs. Suspension and drivetrain will be derived from an E Type donor car. This car will be finished in black with dark tan hides.

Several key components came together during this stage of the build.

The gas tank strap was formed and fitted, ready for its final structural welds. Custom single-groove pulleys were added to both the alternator and water pump, while the fuel pump and fuel filter were mounted and their corresponding fuel lines plumbed.

Attention then shifted to the rear suspension and chassis, with the rear sway bar, mounts, and end links installed. A set of custom headers also arrived, marking another milestone in the project.

Last but not least, the freshly painted rear clamshell was test-fitted to help determine the routing for the filler neck.
