What non-bias ply tire would you have put on CSX3104? Avons?

Thanks for the suggestions. The previous owner said this is the car that "inspired" him several years ago to build my car....he added a few of his personal preferences to my ERA though.

It's interesting that they appear to have the same approach to tail pipes that you used on your ERA - under the axle. I wonder why they didn't follow the factory route through the wheel wells - unless the SC wheels and wider tires interferred.

Ok, you are right...I jumped the gun with a knee jerk response. I guess my skin has not thickened even after being on forums since the mid-90's. My thought is that there is always a nice way to say something and get your point across. Things can be misconstrued in the 2-dimensional computer screen and by not actually talking to someone.

No foul. You are correct that that can be the case on most forums...

...we try and watch for that behavior and snip it quickly.

Enjoy.

Please, don't anyone get mad at me for interjecting, but I saw this as as good an opportunity as any to ask what I have always wondered... What original beauty was my CSX6000 car modeled after? As a CSX owner, I do not have the opportunity to talk to "the guy who built my car"😉
I enjoy seeing pics of original cars all the time... It transports me to those years and makes me realize how cool these things were then (as they are still today). I fantasize about owning one if this originals then... How stupidly fun and cool it must have been.
someone posted elsewhere some pics of a couple of 289 cars that are for sale... Wow! I guess that's why I got my CSX replica😊

Apparently the 427 continuation-series Cobra body molds were taken from CSX3057, which was one of the so-called "completion cars" produced by McClusky for Shelby American. Click HERE for more info.

Dan, That's a good point about the tire and wheel size. I had no choice because of the upgraded ERA rearend's brake placement. The Jag rearend allows you to go up and over. I thought the same thing when I saw the exhaust on 3104. The clearance is low, but you get used to it once you drive it awhile. At first, I kept forgetting how little clearance there was, but it then becomes second nature. Legendary MC had a 289 car...forgot the chassis number...but it was also blue and it looked like the pea shooter pipes were actually an inch or two from touching!
