No, it posted five times. It would be nice if someone who actually knows Brent the owner would ask him if he ever plans to upgrade the software as it is clearly unfixable. Just the courtesy of an answer to that simple question would be appreciated.  |

When making an error after you submit the post is almost always related to what happens AFTER the post is committed. If you get an error open the forum in another window to see if it happened. The reason for the other window is that it's still in the back arrow if not... I've never had one get lost but now prevent duplicates.
The forum database is hosed. It's not going to get fixed.

To the OP - if you go ahead with a scratch build aluminium body, what would you be using as a reference?
Cheers!

Just a word .....
If you get a body on chassis shipping is much easier.
A body shipped needs to be supported and braced or it will fold up on you.
I learned this in my process. Body w/o chassis very fragile.
Why dont you save time and energy and buy a body on chassis from Craig Coombe?

Don’t assume it has timed out when posting. Copy the text and save it before exiting. Then go back to the portal and see if it has posted. If it did not then you can repaste and repost. Avoids multiple posts of same thing due to an “apparent” timeout.
Stupid workaround but it is what we’ve got with this faulty forum.

So this was originally a re-do of the previous post where I just assumed (without checking) that it made it in spite of the error. It turns out it did but appeared lost due to the second phenomenon I see here: Which is that a post that crosses a page (the one I replied to was on page 2, and page 3 didn't show on the index until I refreshed the search.

I spoke with Bill S. couple weeks ago, and he said ALL of Brent Mills sites are having the same issues. Brent (EM-0785) & I met Brent Mills last year @ the Vintage races and told him we'd help with these issues anyway we could, at that time Brent (EM-0785) had an IT on staff at his company, we have heard nothing since then, I don't know what else to do??

I'm in Canada and there is nothing for sale in what I'm looking for.
I also don't want to spend $250,000.

Why try to reinvent the wheel when it's literally right in your neighborhood, relatively speaking of course.
Also, stop looking at the car as an investment for future sale, it's a toy, and nothing else.

I contacted Ross Henry and he can't help anymore. He said he as been restricted for import.
I've been in cars my entire life and has had many many many cars and always tried to not LOOSE too much. I'm not a millionaire and need to be wise to be able to have what I want.
Just last year I purchased a corvette convertible, a Lamborghini Gallardo and a Ferrari 328 GTS.
I still have the vette and the 328.
If I sell the 328 it would help building the Cobra but I'd like to be able to keep it a little more.
I also have other projects in process including refreshing a a 40ft diesel trawler.
I may end up just buying a FFR kit and put a MrBruce body on it I don't know yet.
One thing is sure, I want a correct looking 289 slabside and I will get it.
