I have owned two Backdraft Cobras. My first Cobra was an early Cobra model (#101). I currently own Backdraft #1360. My first backdraft was purchased used and although the mileage was low, the car had indications that it had been rode hard. There were some stress cracks along the edges of the front end which I attributed to the car being hit by something. My currently owned Backdradft Cobra has no signs of stress cracking. The car is a beauty queen and has never been raced, never driven in any extreme condition, always garaged and gets regular loving care as do my other cars. I suspect that the area you have stress cracks has been subjected to some sort of blunt force contact. Just my read on your situation. Phil
