Hi there,

Thanks for the offer, I may need to ask a question or two.

I really don't completely understand where the issue is but there certainly was one. As I mentioned before, I just need to proceed and make this work with what I have on hand, so long as it looks good in the end.
I have no other 289 cars to compare anything with so perhaps some of the issues have more to do with my body.

I am fairly certain it is a Johnex body and was modified from a mold taken from an 80's Aurora that was apparently molded from an early 260 body so that is a lot of room for error.

But as for the foot box being too wide for the chassis, both being built from drawings from the same source I have no idea what's up there, I have my theory's and suspicions but until I talk it over with the provider I am reserving judgement.

You build what you like and I will build what I like...it's all good

You know that guy,
The one in the neighborhood who likes to hang around the garage while you are working and talk about back when he had that killer 1977 Chevy Mustang
