No more roller, now running, driving, painted, awaiting PA title, then up for sale since nobody wants to buy my ERA at the moment for what I am willing to sell it for (price subject to change soon)....Maybe if I find a wrecked FFR roller once everything else is sold I'll truck it over for you to do a full FIA or Slabside conversion for me........

Great job Mr. Bruce. I would think that this will really take off once one is completed. I am impressed...

Very nice. I really like the hood louvers. What is the donor or who is the source for the louvers? Is the curvature of the (pre-installed) louvers similar to the curvature of the hood and therefore easy to install?
Thanks,
John

I dont know how this body hasnt taken off yrs ago.....Mr Bruce, looking at ur profile pics, u have great looking cars, that cheetah thing looks killer, the fia body looks great and the tops your making are outstanding my fav is that daytona with the killer flares. you my man know how to work with fiberglass.

if i lived close to you trust me i would have my spf at your place to make me a lemans top.

for ****s and giggles... what do you charge for a fia body? and will it fit on the new FF frame?

maybe we can work on something together... u see the only kit cobra permitted into canada is the FF, and if there was an option of getting a fia body for it... well that might open up some doors to people who like the fia body. thing is like all humans we want to see before we buy, its just the nature of the beast, im sure that once 1 of your bodys are done and on a frame and all painted up, u will have a list of people waiting on one of your bodys.

keep up the great work!

My FiA bodys are direct bolt onto the F5 frames, the Daytona bodys will fit with modifications to the F5 frames.

Mr. Bruce,

Are you narrowing the F5 chassis width to use accurate Slabside body dimensions or making a wider slabside body to fit around the standard F5 427 Cobra chassis?

My buddy has a JCF slabside Cobra, and its considerably smaller in appearance and inside the cockpit as compared to my own ERA 427 Cobra. I can't tell from the photos if your result is 427 or 289 slabside size and dimensions.
