Thardin - one thing I can tell you is that every "make" of Cobra replica is different.

When I was originally looking for one, I tried more than 6 makes here in the UK, and they were totally different in how I fit in them. Some I felt I was sitting "on" rather than "in", some I could not move my clutch leg becasue of the curve of the dash, some I was looking clean over the top of the windshield.

I ended up with my current car which fits me best - the make is irrelevant to you, it being a UK car, but the point is that a 1" extension to the length of the drivers side footbox, plus a 13" (non original-looking) steering wheel, make it easy to get into and out of, and no aches or pains on a longer drive. I am a relative lightweight here at 225#, but 6'3.

So - try different cars, ask what mods they can do to make it fit you better, and do your best to sample a car with those mods to see how it would work for you.

My two top tips are - get a car with a dashboard shaped like the originals ( i.e. flat along it's bottom edge), and consider a smaller dia steering wheel (which in itself means that the steering geometry must be well thought out and executed to avoid too-heavy steering loads).
