Hey Jeff,
If you find those early emblems reproduced anywhere, let me know. I'm looking for two.

Great build!
I really enjoy watching the progress of this little 289…without a doubt she’s one of my favorites.
Keep up the great work!
Hey *13*…. those really are great photos of 2136 – Thanks! Do you think we could convince Jeff to go with black instead?

A couple bills & a case of beer in the hands of the right person might make the gun spray mysteriously black

I met Anthony Boosalis a few weeks ago very nice guy. He has (3) 427 S/Cs, one of which is mostly the gold color I think youre talking about. Does this look about right Jeff? Gold will look really nice on your 289

Just thought 3021's rear fender looked a. Lot like unique roadsters. They must have copied the look.
WindshieldVipers, my poor attempt at the German accent..

I like it. It's very "Vintage Cobra" yet not so common. Would look good with black stripe & meatballs too!

Spent the bulk of the weekend running for hardware and parts. Chromed brass hardware is not all that easy to find, but it was a success.
Thanks Joe helping with:
Drive Shaft Safety loop
Also made the roll bar receiver......
Ready for welder...
Thanks to all watching...
Next week off to SAAC37!

Jeff - I've only caught the occasional post on this thread, so last night I sat down and read the whole 24 pages in one hit. What a great story! The idea of doing a Comp. 289 is really interesting; it's unlikely you would come across another one on the road. You're getting closer to the sharper end of the project, so it must be satisfying to see verything starting to come together now? I'm looking forward to the rest of the story.
Cheers,
Glen
oh, and thanks for the dash info |
