Congratulations Jeff - That is going to be a great project. So what are your plans for this one?

Are they Comp flares aft and FIA flares forward? I'm hooked already! Cheers, Glen |
I haven't seen that car before except what you've posted. What's the story with it?
Larry |
Shelby 8000 body SN2, any more info would be appreciated. It looks like they grafted flares onto a slabside rather than making a mold.
|
Leafspring chassis?
Great project, now doubly jealous:) Martin |

Some up skirt shots..... :p

Can't wait to see how this one turns out. Your fabrication skills and attention to detail are simply amazing. Plus the small block cobras are my favorite.
|
Is that one of Tim's frames or Hi Tech SA?
Larry |
Are they standard top mounts for the front leafsprings? and as it's a prototype how does it vary from standard, I'm not clued on those details.
Lastly would the cost of a Panelcraft body be prohibitive? Cheers Martin |
duplicate of above

This to my knowledge is a (Tim G) HT-Kincaid frame? Frame was before Ross started their cars. Need to find J Fox to get info. As for Panelcraft, part may be from Joe but whole body out of my budget...:( The CSX8000 #2 body was a prototype body, added front and back flares. So it is a slabside with light flares. Spoke to Gary on this one, still digging up info on origination etc..... |
Jeff,
That looks like a really nice chassis and body! Looking forward to the build. Is the chassis ready for paint? SB |
Yes, need to hit it with acid to clear up metal and then steel wool. Followed by epoxy primer and paint. Still needs a few button up welding things but mostly done. Then probably sits till weather gets cold so I can run around in Goldie...

Martin
The top of the uprights are camber type for adjustment. This is not a prototype thing, more of a 8000 series thing. My other car is original style fixed. |
This new build will be a reproduction of CSX2317..... Will be doing some light work this summer but most of the heavy lifting comes in the fall.
Now that I have wheels I may post first pictures this week. :rolleyes: |
