Jaguar D-Type mirror cowling

We recently made a new aluminium mirror cowling for a D-Type Jaguar. A small job but actually quite satisfying and interesting to do.

Whilst Dad was making it I not only took a series photos I also made some short video clips too. See our photo album in our Jaguar gallery and the video of how we made it here.

Unfortunately I missed Dad welding the sections together, before I realised he’d already done it! Oh well, we’ll do a dedicated aluminium welding video shortly.
