Dave,
Here is a street rod comnpany that has a lot of choices for the same cars. They will make it the way you want it.
They have a good price structure and it gives the consumers choices. I often wondered why the cobra manufacturers were not similar.

The price for a totally decked out chassis is under 8K and thats with a whole bunch of goodies. One of the lesser adorned chassis is much less because it doesn't have the chrome and billit stuff.
If the street rod manufacturers can do it so can the Cobra manufacturers.take a look at Outlaw Performance

They have a complete 1941 Willys with all the good stuff like power windows, R&P steering, pro stock rear, and a whole lot more for under 20K. This price can also be lowered by removing items that the consumer may not want.
Really what you want to do is is design a modern type chassis that will except one or all of your aluminum bodies.
I agree that this in no way will infringe on the current market for "original specs cobras". Personally I prefer a more modern type suspension. I really like late model corvette componants. They have IRS and a real neat front setup . most all the A-arms are aluminum. coil overs are easily adapted to this set up as well instead of the fiber leaf spring. Thousands of street rods run these componants because they are easy to get and they offer superior handling . But really, there is hundreds of componants available to you for a good solid chassis platform that will be a good product at a lower price. And yes it will require a little R&D.
