289 cars

[Garyc]

Are there any FFR builds going on in or near Indianapolis?
I’m doing a 289 car soon.
I can’t wait

Welcome! Always nice to see another 289 build.

Hi GaryC and welcome. I built mine about the same time CNutting did a few years ago.. Unfortunately I'm about 5hrs away in NW Ohio.

Thanks all. I’m sure it will be fun

Hi Gary,
Sorry, I'm in Maryland, but we 289ers are few and far between so we should stay in touch. Hope all is well with your build so far!

What did you guys do with your door l latches
And we’re your bodies as rough as mine. It’s terrible
I can see daylight through some places

Garyc, I just picked mine up a couple of weeks ago. The body is on par with what my 427 body was.

It is what it is and there is plenty of info on the forums on how to tackle the bodywork if you choose to, I may try to do some.
My door latches were back ordered so I expect those in the mail someday soon.

The easy way to prevent the daylight issue is to paint the inside of the body with black paint.
