Hawk 289 slab side Cobra
Is anyone familiar with the Hawk 289, as far as constructing one? I'm beginning to really consider this car as Gerry Hawkridge seems to be the only slab side builder that is interested in talking to me.
I would like to know how straight forward construction was and any problems encountered in construction. Dick Winn |
FIA Too!

Thanks, I will. I may be confused, but I thought you only had an FIA. However, I was referring to NAF and JCF in my question.

289 slabside
I completed a Hawk slabside this summer, here in the UK. It's a high quality kit, with no obvious problems or weaknesses. OK, there's the usual amount of problem solving needed, but nothing that relates to problems with the kit or its parts. If you're used to working on cars, the job is pretty straightforward.
Spec is: 1965 Ford 289 HiPo, dyno'd at around 350 T5 WC gearbox McLeod clutch Ward engineering Jaguar rear, about to experiment with XJ40 outboard discs Hawk adjustable tubular front suspension Stainless steel original spec wire wheels, knock-ons Painted 1960s Jaguar dark blue Just registered for the first time - I'll try to attach a pic or two Roger King |
Sorry, added a couple of pics but they don't seem to have appeared.
