Customer Restorations Mike & Connie Moore  Morgan Hill, CA

Here is a picture Connie took of the first drive of more than 10 feet  of our E Type project. Things went amazingly well for a first ½ mile  sojourn. The doors and interior are not yet installed. If I seem to look  anxious its because the brakes got a bit mushy (needed bleeding) and I was about to turn down that steep downhill driveway and I’m thinking  about what’s on the OTHER side of the garage wall - a 20 foot drop off! Mike Moore

Mike has asked me to include the following photograph of Felipe, the skilled and enthusiastic craftsman whom Mike tells me did most of the hard work on his E Type. If you ever move to Texas, Felipe, you need to look me up! Good job!
 

Update report - April 23, 2002

The following photographs speak for themselves - the car looks magnificent!

The latest photographs from Mike and Connie show some tremendous progress over the last 6 weeks or so. Great pictures - shame about those shock absorbers ;-)

Incidentally, Mike, you can now buy the correct brass dashtop plungers for the 3.8 engines. We have been buying them from Joe Curto in New York.

Best personal regards,

Dan M.

It looks like you are getting real close to firing up the engine, Mike. With a sticker like that on the windscreen I don't see how anything can possibly go wrong ;-)

Best Regards,

Dan and the Team CJ crew

Mike's latest photographic progress report shows the rack, radiator and other engine bay ancillaries installed. It won't be long now before we will be looking for a 'maiden voyage' report!

Hi Mike:

The following photographs show the routing of the brake vacuum line on a 61 roadster that we are just finishing up at CJ. Hope the pictures are of some use to you!

Best Regards,

Dan M.

Update report - February/March 2000

Lots of progress with the 63 roadster restoration going on in the Moore household.

Mike attributes much of the credit to wife Connie, seen doing a contortionist's act (that will be familiar to all restorers) in some of the photos below!

We were very pleased to see so many CJ invoices being used as a backdrop in some of the shots!

The car is looking great - you are obviously both doing a wonderful job.

Best Regards from all at Team CJ.
