Ron is right. It's also true that the Cobra shape is one of the sexiest out there but when it is pulled and stretched and distorted to fit longer, wider platforms, it loses that sexiness REAL quick and you end up with a creation that has some Cobra-like elements but is ugly and unappealing as hell. The amount of time, money and headache involved in the conversion will make it less than worthwhile and will yield a car that is less desirable and less valuable than either the original T-Bird or even a low budget 90" wheelbase Cobra replica. It takes far more than an oval shaped radiator opening, sidepipes and some 60's style trim to capture the look and feel of a Cobra. Don't give up on your dream, but don't sell it short either. Take your time, do some research (here is a good place to start) and when you are ready, look into doing a Cobra that will be far closer to the real thing. It will be easier and not necessarily much more expensive than converting a T-Bird; plus, it will produce a result that will justify the effort.
