Hi Bill,
Glad to hear that you are moving toward having your third BN-7 on the road.
You must be a very experienced restorer.  You could, of course, tell that I am
very pleased with Jule Enterprises and Martin Jansen's work.  With the new
Jule Frame my car drives like a brand new 1967 healey.  Actually I think that
it is better since the cornering and solid feel is better than the new 100
fours and sixes that I have owned in the past years.  I'm 81 years old now and
do enjoy talking to Marty since he grew up building Hot Rods as I did, and as
evidenced by his Fantastic Yellow beauty with the Jag engine, and appears to
have carried all of those many skills into the Healey World to our benefit

Wish you the best of luck on you BN-7 and hope to meet you at one of the
events one of these days.

Gale Hess

  I am having a similar experience not only with the Jule frame, but I also
traded my complete BN-7 body to Martin for a completely done frame and
exterior panels.  The fit of the panels is excellent and the gaps are precise.
Yes, you need to tap and fit the anti-sway bar attachemnts and the
transmission mount but those are of no consequence, obviously.  The premium is
that you can call Marty and he is always available to talk through questions,
offer advice and generally talk about Healeys.  A wonderful experience and I
am in the process of doing the final exterior paint job and getting my third
tri-carb Bn-7 on the road.  bill nelson
