Hi all. Just bought my first Cobra and I have no idea who's kit it is. It is titled in Florida as a 1965 AC Cobra and that is all I know about the chassis and body. How do I go about Id'ing this car? I have spent a week pulling every number I can off every part that is stamped or tagged. So far I have come up with 1970 Boss 302, toploader 433 code from a 428,429 mustang,tail shaft from 1965 Cyclone and a 1977 9 inch rear end from a Lincoln Versilse. It has mustang II front suspension and a Flaming River rack. Front calipers are 1985 Corvette and the rears are from the stock Lincoln.

So,now the questions.does anyone make a header set that will work for under car exhaust? I have 3 BIG burns on my left leg from hot side pipes. Duh...the car is supposed to be for my wife to drive also but she refuses untill I do something about the hot pipes....Next question is what type of shifter should I use with the Toploader? There is a speed shop down the street from where I live and he ordered me a early Mustang Hurst Comp plus but I'm not sure you can turn the shift lever around so I won't be banging my arm on the roll bar that goes into the foot well on the passenger side. And lastly how do I I'd the mfg of the kit? Any help I can get would be awesome. BTW, I live near Bradenton Fl. And if anyone lives in this area I can meet up and maybe get some pointers.

Thanks in advance
