Well, since none of the suspension pieces are on the Cobra restorer's drawings, you are pretty much on your own on this one.
The uprights are a pretty intricate piece to build and really don't lend themselves to a scratch build unless you are a reasonably skilled machinist and/or welder and fabricator. You may need to contact George Petrus, Cobra Restorers, or someone else for those pieces.
The suspension pieces are available from Kirkham, Shelby, Cobra Restorers, and a few other places but the prices are pretty steep - unless Kirkham just happens to have another Scratch n Dent sale....
Of all the pieces on a scratch build, the suspension pieces you will have the most invested in - in more ways than one.....
