[Tigers] Mark II Restoration Project

[Jim Sencindiver]

Looks like the back half is from an Alpine.  I don't see any of the
Tiger specific details in the trunk/boot photo, and the "continuously
overlapped" seam repair could be where the Alpine back half was welded
in.  That would also expain why the battery box hole is there and why
the hole does not have evidence of the Tiger specific fuel pump
mounting.  I would love to see a few photos of the underside to see if
the Tiger specific stuff is still there.

Keep on Tigering!
