Jensen Interceptor, with a twist
This thread is intended to be the story of this whole build. Inspired by the Jensen Viperceptor we wanted to make a modern looking Jensen, but still use the original engine and gearbox and also give the car subtle engineering upgrades.
Both front and rear arches have been flared, the stainless trim at the bottom has also gone and replaced by metal.
Hand made front valance, looks the same as the original just deeper.
Hand made headlight surrounds.
Yes, they are Dodge Challenger Headlights. A whole new grill will need to be made, also undecided on whether to put a wire mesh in the front valance or grill slats to match the grill?
We were going to use Chrysler 300C headlights, however, they just didn't seem to go with the front end plus they looked too big.

Ahh Yes, The Jensen Vipercepter, remember the company who came on here purely to plug this car and all the shows it was going to, and promised he'd contribute to the forum? Yeah that lasted well.
Great build, love the choice of headlights.

Re: Jensen Interceptor, with a twist
Front end is nearly all welded up, next it's those arches.
Re: Jensen Interceptor, with a twist
Nice fabrication work,at least you have the machinery to do it. I'm trying to make thunder saloon wide arches for a Sierra out steel,instead of using the glass-fiber kit
