Modlguy Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Does anyone know of an aftermarket Jag rear end for hot rod applications? I know there are kits like the Li'l John Butera rods that have them but I was wondering if they could be sourced on their own. Thanks.

Miatatom Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 I hope someone can answer your question. I'd like to know about this myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 I've managed to salvage some from cheap gluebomb E-type built-ups, or partial kits. Only prob with the gluebombs is that the rear end may be fused into a solid, unusable lump...but sometimes you get lucky too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LDO Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 If the Tamiya Jaguar MkII Saloon has a good one, I can part with one. Found a great deal on that kit a while back and bought 3 for parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This kit has the same IRS and frame as the Lil John kit. $19, free shipping. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1934-Ford-Chopped-Coupe-Revell-7239-1-25-Model-Kit-Sealed-free-shipping/332645215981?hash=item4d73332eed:g:U7wAAOSwsA5a52R~ Unfortunately, the body and engine are seriously underscale to fit the Buttera chassis. The body is about right for a '34 Fiat. Edited May 9, 2018 by Ace-Garageguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
