Hi John, When did you move to North Carolina? I have always loved your green 289 Cobra. I own an Aurora MK. II that looks very similar. I live in Greensboro.

My cell is 336-340-6707. My email is mbriggs@callcoverage.com

Your 289 is very nice, and I love the wire wheels. I have an Era with knock off kidney bean wheels. I would like to swap out to wires. Can you tell me more about your wire wheels? Brand, wheel size, tire size, adaptor source, etc. Thanks in advance. Rich

John,
Your SlabSide is beautiful. I was thinking of doing a very similar build. There is a local MK3 in town for sale that is but ugly, but the price is right and it has the correct powertrain for a 289 conversion. Do you have a detailed build page with approximate costs on what it would take to do the conversion?? I've already sent a message to Bruce about a new body, but would need more details on all you had to do to bring the front suspension in and other things to make it all fit. Again, your car is most beautiful!!

Hi jolsen42, was looking at photos of your car and was quite struck by the color. Do you have a paint code for that p[articular color?
Thanks,

I have the trunk tray that Bruce makes. The tray itself is a well-made piece, but 1) it’s about 1/4” too narrow for my spare and 2) it didn’t have the “wings” like the original pan does. So, I...

Now THAT'S motivation. Actually, I have been working on it. Bruce positioned the engine in the chassis similar to the FF5 roadster, which I believe is about 2" back. That 2" set back led to a...
