Tim, thanks!

Yes I have learned a lot and re-hashed some old stuff I knew, both of which have been nothing but beneficial.

Short list of things I would like to have done out the gate aka at pick up:

Manufacturer: (ERA or UA)
Body either partially of fully bonded
Dual front fans (must have!!!)
427 riveted hood scoop
Powder coated chassis
Powder coated louvers and gas cap (Black)
Powder coated roll bar (80% decided on this one)
Paint (fingers crossed on this one)

That is the way I would like to pick her up. Also, I already have some hooks in the water for a big block ford. The rest will have to be done, piece by piece.

Other great ideas / advice I have picked up here:

Have passenger side frame prepped for roll bar (just in case).
Replace steel screws with stainless steel screws.
Place the battery in the trunk.
Lastly, don’t put no stinking Chevy motor in a Cobra!

After looking at almost EVERY photo of a 427 Cobra on flickr I am about blind! But, wow, what a car! No matter how many times I see one, I like it! I mean it’s almost hard to not like something about everyone one you see, even it has items I don’t like.

Good stuff guys, keep it coming! I absolutely love all the different opinions and lessons learned!
