Default NAF body molds

Hi to all the NAF forum members.

feadam contacted me with the following message: I saw you had original literature for naf's, wondering if you have any good body pictures? I bought a set of molds for a body a while back and the only thing the guy could tell me was they came from a company in Pheonix a long time ago. Was going to try to do an aluminum body for myself off molds so would like to know what molds came from. Maybe with some good pictures I can tell.

I replied:

Hi feadam. There are lots of pics on my gallery and others galleries showing the NAF body shape and characteristics.

It's very hard to compare a finished car body to a mold, but if you could post some pics of the molds on the forum, maybe we can help.

NAF's were built in the "Phoenix area", actually Tempe from the early 80's to the early 90's. John "Jack" Kube, the owner of NAF passed away in about 2005 I think.

The NAF body shape was always considered the most "correct" body shape amoung the replicas of the day and the molds were taken from an original 427 Cobra. But there were some differences.

If any of the NAF or other forum members can add to the info or help, I'm sure feadam would appreciate it

Cheers
Greg
