Rod:

Here is a partial listing of the items that are done in an effort to duplicate the original slabside look:

1. Exterior: undercar exhaust, bumper hoops fr/r, center small gas filler cap, relocation of emblems, front grill, AC knockoff wire wheels.

2. Interior: heater, black rugs and street dash, 16" steering wheel, red leather seats with piping, clock, switches, knobs, etc. as close to original in look and layout as we can now source.

3. Engine compartment: 289 sm w/"Cobra" aluminum valve covers and oil pan, original style brake/clutch fluid tanks, 61 Lincoln expansion tank re-plumbed, plain black steel pulleys, black painted radiator and hold-down brackets.

There are a number of other minor items that Doug and ROb have fabricated to try and duplicate the look of the original and that distinguish this car from the ERAFIA version .
