[Rick Parker]

As the owner of a NAF 289 slabside bodied car I can attest to the accuracy of the body and the elaborate reinforcing throughout with regard to the glass work. The body is made of hand laid glass rather than being shot from a chopper gun and is quite sturdy. The chassis was originally a 2x4 box tubing ladder type that utilized a Mustang II front subframe including the small brakes. It was grafted without any modifications done to the subframe itself by butt welding to the tubing rather crudely. The rear end in my particular car was a originally a narrowed 8" live axle out of a 60's or mid 70's car such as a Mustang or Maverick (?), drum brakes included. When thes cars were being made in the early to mid 80's there weren't as many manufacturers as there are now and NAF was highly regarded. It has been modeled after and looks very similar to the car Bob Johnson drove so sucessfully. The red "Competition Cobra" poster hangs in my garage as a incentive.
