Main reason for this is can anyone get me in contact with mustangjohnny ? He hasn't been online in over two years and I'm hoping someone here may know him.
EDIT, After doing a little more research I came across a post saying that he had passed away, RIP. Does anyone know the current status of this car then?
Oddly I'm a member here and also in the process of helping a close friend restore a 96 Lotus Esprit that was an official pace car in the 97/98 champ car/ Indy car series. It's pretty much as it was used except for missing the roof lite and a pace care isint complete without the lights! We've had zero leads on who made it, what it looks like etc, as there aren't to many pictures of it from when it was in use.
Any way I just stumped upon a thread of when mustangjohnny acquired a cobra that was also a champcar pace car.

In his thread he talks about the light, which is the same exact one we need, and I would love to get in touch with him for some possible info. We've found a company that can make us one but we need the dimensions first.
Any help would be great here guys, this light has been over a year long search! Lots of history between Lotus and Ford so hopefully you accept the off brand thread.
Here's some pics!
As an active pace car with the light
Shortly after getting the car, its orignal mirrors were both damaged and replaced with those stupid little stick on ones, the holes in the doors were covered with that big ugly sticker. Also no roof light
And heres the light that is from mustangjohnnys thread, pretty sure its the same light or damn close.
And finally a pic from a few months ago from the national meet in ashville NC at the biltwell estate. Here it has the correct mirrors again.
