We haven't ever made one...but, we did take an original one down from the balcony.

I think we had one of EVERYTHING up there.

We'll make you one.

That sounds great. I think we will just have to figure out how to modify one slightly for the narrowed leafspring 289 trunks. When I call to pay for the dash blank tomorrow we can talk. This is the missing link on my car. I am excited. I won't be able to sleep tonight now.

Thanks David!!

No problem Mike. We'll figure it out. I think I'm going to have to hire more guys.

David,
Put me down for one of the pedal assemblies. I'll talk to you tomorrow.

We can make more billet SOHC valve covers. The problem is the cost. The billet is $350/valve cover

They do polish up like a mirror though.

I just noticed we have 2 of these.

Retail on a nose is $2500. I'll let each one go for $950

I am not sure if this can be shipped UPS. It is right up against the dimension limit.

David,
Is this nose basically the same as the 427 SC nose except the lower oil cooler opening?

Thanks,
Racer_X

Very similar...but no. The 289 fenders have a higher crown and the radiator opening on a 289 car is shaped like the letter "D" while the 427 opening is oval.

Default billet brake cans

Hello David, I called your shop and paid for one set of the cans. I was able to find a set of shocks for our original 289, Acton Custom had a set in stock.
thanks very much, karl

More parts! More parts!

I wouldn't mind a holiday gift for myself.

And you should start a Kirkham gym thread. I'd read it. And I'm always happy to give you my opinion.
