That's looking great Dave. It almost looks like you know what you're doing

Looks even better today. I've swept up.

Anyway.... a group question now.
If I'm going to do an FIA, then which one should I replicate?
I believe you have 5 to choose from. (Serious question).

For the less initiated amongst us (like me), what are the 5 types of FIAs?

Alan; I think Dave means which original FIA spec car, but I could be wrong - it's been known!

Yup Lee.
There were 5 original FIA cars.
There were differences between all of them.
I'm trying to gauge which one is best liked before I go and get the body buck produced.

I'm no expert on 289 FIA Cobras, but I would have thought they were all either the same or very nearly the same given that they competed together on events like the Targa Florio. So it would seem logical to me that they would have been prepared to the same spec, although they probably evolved though during the race season as a result of repairs and upgrades, so it would depend on what point in time you chose to replicate any of them.
They're not consecutive chassis numbers though (CSX2259, CSX2260. CSX2301, CSX2323, and CSX2345), apart from the first two, so thet could be different.
