Looking for feedback!

That kit from cobra restorers was awesome. But i hand to widen it 3/4 of an inch.
Looking good, frankym! I think you nailed the down tube angle. Seeing a more straight-on side shot/profile view would help confirm that as well as the height. Did you use the floor jack method to widen the cobra restorer's hoop by 3/4"? And how does their hoop conform to the lower mounting points, as there is a shallow 4-5" bend on the bottom right mount? Are you also planning to fab a faux upper bracket ("collar") that slips over the inside tube just underneath the cowl? I don't believe there is a structural member behind that area to rigidly mount the collar, but if you're going to go to all this trouble you might as well add another detail even if it's not functional (hint: I don't believe you will find those on the continuation series cars).
