I removed the 50th anniversary emblems Friday and will install the original style that I bought from CompClassics next week. The car needs taller tires, maybe 26 inch for the front and 27 for the rear. Can you lower the rear ride height on these cars? The current tires are 25 inches tall. I want to fill the wheel well opening.

You will need to put a few miles, possibly a few hundred depending on the manufacturer of the spring, on the car to get the springs to settle. After that you can have the springs re-arced as needed.

That car has coolness oozing from it... It's oozing so bad that it leaves a trail of coolness on the road behind it...

@miggie, this bring's back so many great memories. Back in 2010-11, I met Alan for the second time. The first when I was 8-years old at Pacific Raceway's, he was driving a Cheetah for Alan Grant Chev. Another cool story about those cars later. Coming around turn 9 the pass. door flew off, and landed right by me. As a 8year old, I was only going give the driver the door, the mech. thought that was funny, so when Alan pulled in I was one proud puppy. Believe it or not, he still remembered a kid handing him the door, after what 40+years. We ended up being friend's, and still see each other every now & then. I've driven his Recreation Cobra, and he will drive my 427 car when finished, great gentleman, oh and the story's he has, WOW.

Hey Jeff, not there's anything wrong with your speedometer but Mo-Ma can put the Cobra SW face on your gauge if you wanted.
Just an FYI.
