You can't tease us with a motor shot & not show us how she sits. How does she look, ride height wise? Engine compartment is going to look nice!

1985 CCX 12-01-2012 03:57 PM

Looks good, still bit high as buggy spring needs to settle a bit. I am told they do.....

Trying to load pictures to site......

Keeps failing, will keep on it.....

She will settle a bit. The era will sit a bit high after a tire change. A push down on the fender will settle her back

Looking sweet, what was the reason for going with the IDF over IDA's
I would love to see it some day in person.
Cheers.

I chose the IDF as I was told they are easier to adjust for street use. Also I had a set available to me that were never wet, therefore I bought them.

Big day pal, that's great!

LMH 12-02-2012 12:26 PM

Looks great Jeff!
Is that 289 alt bracket from Competition Classics?

I'm sure it is. I don't think they are still around. Repo only. That's where I got mine.

Yah, that is their bracket. I'm waiting for mine to arrive. I think they just did another run of them recently.

Looks good my friend!

I talked to them at the Coronado vintage races. The bracket is outstanding and an exact reproduction of the original. I should have bought one then but didn't.
Thinking if ordering one though.

I bought the bracket through John Bessey, he cast it and very nicely done. A must for 289 car as it is a Cobra only item. I decided to avoid the painting of it as I like the cast appearance and patina it will have in years to come.

A/S65 12-10-2012 07:09 AM

Coming along very nicely Jeff , car looks great.

1985 CCX 12-10-2012 09:37 AM

May have IDA's available for use on this project, anyone interested in a new set of IDF's?

It'll look great with the valve covers

Mando 01-28-2013 01:20 PM

Looks great, what brand are the black fuel lines? Just curious because I'm in the middle of changing all my fuel lines over to teflon lined hoses due to the terrible petrol smell in my garage. I didn't know when I installed them, rubber lined braided hoses gave of petrol vapors after a few months. I was wondering if anyone made teflon lined hoses with the black covering?

Regards.

Will check.........
