I think the problem with most people looking at Dragon Snake/FIA/USRRC cars is that it seems like no two cars had the same flares. I've got to say that with what I've seen of Bruce's work I think the "look" will be there in the end though. BTW, I love the look of Torque Thrusts on a D/S type Cobra! If I could find some that were pin drive and would fit my BDR I'd spring for them in a heart beat.

Gotta watch the flairs don't look like a shelf you could set a beer can on, this is probably goin' to be the hardest part of this whole project, getting the look rite. It took lots of time dialing in the shape of the El Cid car .

Dadgumit, Jim....this pic has me all kinds of worked up now...there's so much s*x in this pic I don't know where to start..
My vote is for these flares in the rear and the slab/spats in the front.

The nice part on a 289 build - they had over the race years all kinds of flared fenders front and rear.
Pick your poison and be happy - and nobody can say "oh that looks not original"

Allen, if I had to make a decision today... that is exactly what I would choose. That blue car you referenced had the flare start at the top more than the others. Not as much of a crease between the flare / fender.
Allen, have you seen Mike Pack's car? Don't you know Mike???

Where did you get the wheels? I'd love to have a set of those for track days/track tires.

I think they are only ~21lbs. Not bad.
I'll dig up the part numbers tomorrow so you can compare.

Hyde, I can't wait to have conversations about this car. I just hope I finish it off in a way that does justice to the thought that Bruce is putting into this. I'm just a willing accomplice... this is all his brain and hands. |

Jim-
Did you have to move the front cross member up? I'm referring to the peice that the steering column passes through and the footboxes attach to.
