Yes, looks great! Interesting... it does have the oil cooler scoop. I thought that you were thinking of no scoop for your build. By the way, I was talking with Maurice at Unique today, and mentioned you might be calling. He said he is doing a narrow hip version for a guy, now! Interesting coincidence!



Also, check out this interesting 289 street FIA, with more pics on the Unique Facebook page or here on the UniqueCobra site:

Yes, both narrow hips and no oil cooler scoop. Thanks to the great information that NOS-EDDIE provided above, we see that there no originals built with BOTH features. But that's OK, it can be a hybrid. Now I've got reference images of examples of both. Interestingly, Googling those CSX numbers today, it appears that a number were converted to the S/C configuration at some point in their lives.
Good to get confirmation that Unique is willing and able - thanks. That's a great-looking 289, but the slabsides don't appeal to me so much. You know, each guy's ideal is just the right amount of curves - not too slim and not Cardi B either. (no offense)

Non taken! But that is not a slabside... it's the FIA/USRRC/SCCA body style that is quite similar to the narrow hip version. The slabsides are really flat!
