An Edsel, A Jaguar V12 Engine and a Roll Cage

Yesterday Bob and I drove down to Blue Island meet the team that is putting a Jaguar V12 in an Edsel, and to talk to one of the guys about what it would cost to have him build our Cage.
We spent about 3 hours talking about all sorts of racing, and looking at the very long V12 engine.
We did also get a estimate on a Roll Cage.
