Less,
I would suggest doing a lot of research into these kits before jumping in. There are many manufacturers' of Cobra "kits". Most don't supply just a chassis and body. Many are also sold as rollers, i.e. they come basically complete, less engine and trans.

You should decide what you want with your Cobra, and what is important to you, then research which kit will get you there.

If you want to use Mustang parts, the Factory Five car was designed to accept the Mustang motor, trans, rear, some suspension bits, etc... I'm a little biased towards them since I own one, but they are by no means the only kit out there. There are LOTS of beautiful cars out there. Take your time and choose wisely.

You may want to consider buying an already completed car. The used market is sort of soft and you can pick up a completed car for far less than the cost of building it.
