Thanks for posting this picture of Carter Gette.
He may be one of the most interesting Cobra guys of all.

I think North Devon is using a fiberglass 4000 body for their buck, and I think they look great. The chassis is also built like a fiberglass 4000 with a rear sway bar and the little "nibbles" lasered into the half shaft holes, front shock mounts, etc to mimic an original 300 series car.

I built 5 of the Brooklands sourced 1000 cars and they were very nice cars. Never built a ND car, but hopefully that'll happen
