The body shape in that picture of CSX2345 sure looks a lot like my ERA 289 FIA...fenders, flares, doors, hood scoop, snout, oil cooler scoop...
If the ERA 289 FIA wasn't based on CSX2345, which FIA car was it based on?

That's the car. Phil went out to Arizona (I think) to go over what is the only unrestored FIA to get the shape and other details. |

Bill D: You are definitely on the right track in the photo, but the scoop begins too far aft. Judging from the other pics, the scoop cutout begins about 3/4 - 1" below the radiator opening (just below where the OE chassis bar would be) and ends before piercing the lower body edge. I am liking this setup--maybe because i am so accustomed to the 427S/C type that anything different (within bounds!) is cool. Keep up the thread so we can see the finished product, please!

Just weld an alloy bead to the lip, sand and rivet on the body...

I agree that the front lip of the scoop needs to be further forward and closer to the lower radiator inlet lip as you said. I have decided to make another attempt with aluminum. I have a friend who is an expert at welding aluminum. He will be my go-to source on the second attempt. I'll keep everyone informed
