So the wife got invited to this event at the Fluevog Shoes store on Melrose ( I think this might mean she buys too many shoes) Anyway, Fluevog was there, and a very nice Canadian fellow he is. But the real star of the night was his custom Jaguar, which was parked out on the street. It's looks pretty sweet in person. I got a few photos:
I dunno, there were lots of cute girls at that party... four doors means more girls can come back to the hotel for an "afterparty"...
Looks cool and appears they did a lot of mods to it. I am not sure I am into the paint scheme. I would have probably just painted it all a 3" deep extra shiny, perfectly smooth black. What does is say on the caps? Fluevog maybe I guess? You sure that's a jaguar and not some crazy over the top 1 off something with similar style?
I never thought someone could make a MK10 Jag look good but that rocks. A lot of very subtle mods. Like stude trucks I'm not sold on the paint scheme but it does capture the earlier Jag style.

Over all its cool, i think the grill and headlights are uglier than shit though. Too rolls royce ish for me.
The grill and headlights ruin it, as well at the color choice. Something more more toward the blue hue would have been better. Overall a cool design though. And I agree with Coop.
I always thought that that model had one of the best looking engines around! I wonder what an old Jag engine would look like in a fenderless, hoodless, 30s something Hot Rod. Would it be "traditional", I guess not but they were good looking!
Cool. I agree, deep black instead of the creamy colors would make it much richer looking. Dont dig the front end either, but very sick otherwise. I like classy stuff. Thanks Coop.
I like the whole rig, the four door even seems perfectly correct. The paint is smooth, all black is on stock jags, so who needs that. Bitchin interior!! Thanks for sharing this kinda o.t. build, but a neat custom!!-Sololobo
Damn, that car is rad. I really like the peaks on the headlamps and then the MUCH nicer (than the original car) rear end. Looks like someone put a ton of money into a very unloved car.
Australian Street Machine magazine has had an Expression Session feature for a long time. Jeff Haggerty was the artist whos work was used for many years. Here is his custom versions on a MK 10 Jag from 1997
My friend "Frank the Shoe" is the manager for the Fluevog store here in Toronto. He told me about that car but I have never seen it in pictures before. Nice.
That Jag is bitchin'! Something tells me you weren't driving your A and outclassing him though. Ha Ha Ha
