Rick,


At the time, it was a matter of physical space, as you saw what I was working with first hand. I put both Cobras up, both at reasonable prices for the time period in which they were up for sale, and the SPF 289 roadster sold first, that is how it goes. Besides, when I conversed with Ross, he advised 0034 did not have the brackets installed already, making the retrofit of the rollbar a very costly affair. Now, thankfully, the later chassis have those brackets installed at the factory, making for an easier retrofit. I'm in no rush, and yes, will now be waiting for just the right car, at just the right deal.


Bill S.


PS: Maybe even a SV in my future
