Grumpy,
Thanks for the info and no need to blow out of thread, I respect the purist in you and have not nor would not argue with your point of view. My Cobray is not for the purist as we build the car to stand on its own. It clearly has Cobra influences ( how can you not love the bodylines and mystique of the Cobra ) while obvious to even the most casual Cobra fan it is very different. The Corvette chassis with the advantage of some 30 + years of improvements is a natural choice for donor selection. The GM or Chevy engine is a plug and play as is the Ford enine with our adapter mounts. I would be the first to admit Cobray is a poor replica attempt if judged by replica standards but fares very well as a quality built hotrod. It offers everything a replica delivers and more and has been designed not to attempt or imply authenticity.
