The battery can be seen here:

I had an even smaller version of these gel cell sealed batteries on my FFR and it worked pretty well. They are about half the size and weight of a conventional battery and don't cost that much more. Cheap 20+ lb savings.

Wheel wise, I'm leaning toward Vintage. I would like an 11" wide rear so I can run 335's if I want, but I didn't see anything over 10.5" on his website. I will contact them to see if they can do it. I had Compomotives on the FFR and they were nice too.
I probably will go for the leather.

Thanks for the tip on the 390. Cobra Restorers are the guys in GA, correct?
Maybe there should be a "community 390" that can get passed from one Cobra to the next as owners save up for the "real engine".
