From Computerworks first post on the subject:

"They purchased chassis number CSX2451 from Shelby and lengthened it 18 inches to start the build of this one and only 1965 Mercer Cobra." (my italics)

How was this done? Did they attach or splice a length of tubing onto the frame tubes? The framing that extends from the main tubes seems too light to handle additional weight, especially when the weight would be hung further from the point of attachement with the twin tubes.
