I chose the fastback style, and I’ll be receiving a raw production top, no gel coat or interior finish. I already have a fiberglass fabricator lined up who can handle the custom work. Once it’s completed, we’re planning to 3D scan the finished piece so we can develop a proper model specifically for our cars.
If you’re interested in being part of this project, please let me know. I’ve attached some photos as well. The plan is to have the top shipped to the U.S. in January, and my fabricator has it scheduled for February.
I think the fastback looks great, and more importantly, it makes the Cobra a lot more usable by extending the driving season beyond what an open roadster allows.

I hope you don't mind a few questions. The top looks great. Will it fit over a rollbar? it's hard to tell for sure in the photos you provided but it does appear as best I can see that the car pictured either has no rollbar or that the rollbar has been removed. Also, what do you mean when you refer to developing a hardtop for "the smaller Cobra's"? What is a "smaller" Cobra? Also, what is "your model"? Some good questions about fitment were asked as well. It almost appears from the photo that the rear legs that extend toward the trunk were designed to straddle the trunk when installed, allowing for the trunk to be opened with the top in place. Maybe the photos were taken before those rear legs were spread to their proper width and fastened in place? Lastly, what is involved in finishing and installing the top? How is it fastened? Any US cost estimates at this time? Looks like a very cool project. I'm surprised someone like our own Mr. Bruce hasn't done something similar before.
