I was going for the same approach with my Kirkham. The Kirkham and Shelby car use a different suspension and brakes than the original cars. The Shelby suspension is more authentic but is not period correct and of course both us Wilwood brakes. I used the original style suspension and Girling brakes on mine. I am happy with the end result. If you want to go this route expect to spend an extra 15k on a Kirkham. Whichever car you get there is a fair amount of extra work and money you will need to supply to get it to be an authentic appearing Cobra.
