Mr Bruce 289 Slabside
 
Hi, does anybody know if Mr Bruce in PA is still round making bodies ?
I would like to get a Slabside body.
Is there anything else on the market ?

I saw three Superformance slab sides at Barret Jackson last week. I wasn't in the market so I didn't ask the price.

I got parts from mr bruce last year. He is still around and active on this forum.

Well, if you have the money, there are some more expensive options like Kirkham or Shelby as well.

I am looking at all options right now.
The problem is the waiting time.
Look like two years is the minimum. Bob at ERA confirmed it this morning.
There are not too many slabside options.
I'm in for a Superformace or Shelby CSX8000 that's what I wanted to order but my patience is not that good. And there is still work to do, so ...... how long ?
There are two turn key advertised at $134,900. But we can't import new turnkey to Canada.
They have to be 15 years old.
Even a non assembled kit is some trouble for us to import. A rolling chassis is not accepted.

SO NOW i'm looking at what is available locally or that I CAN import.

Or contract a good welding shop for a frame from the drawings with a slabside body purchase.

Perhaps you overlooked Ross Henry, who designed the SPF 289 and FIA roadsters ;)

Information - Riverside Racers

If you go the 289 FIA route, the only option I recommend you do not get for the street is the FIA front brake ducts. Ask Ross why I make that suggestion %/:LOL::D

I will NOT go with a FIA 289. The street 289 slabside is the ONLY option for me. Nothing else, if I buy anything else it will be to modify it into a slabside.

Thanks for the info I will look at this option. I didn't know him. I'm new in the Cobra kit world.
