I have been exploring a 289 build myself and you took the words out of my mouth. I would have suggested looking into Mr Bruce's bodies in addition to Unique and ERA. There might be some other more obscure sources but I think those three will likely be your most reliable sources for a slabside body. Superformance has started building a slabside roller but I don't know if you can buy just the body. Doesn't hurt to ask. Good luck in your search.

One correction to my earlier post. Unique advertises a 289 FIA but a slab body might be a one off proposition, although I'd ask. They redid the front fenders from flairs to slabs on the Allen Grant raffle car build recently, and left the FIA style rear flairs intact as they were on CSX2128.

Niether of them will sell just a body.

Time for a trip to Pittsburgh to check out Mr Bruce's wares.
