lewis,

If you're on the fence on building a scratch built frame, you might be better off buying a frame already constructed. At least that way, you just add the suspension pieces and make any modifications you see fit.
I happen to know a frame is going to be available on ebay probably starting today for a very good price. It is identical to the Cobra Restorers'/ original frame and I believe the price is going to be in the $2,950.00 range.
I talked to the guy selling it and he will be able to supply most of the pieces needed to finish it.

He is also doing something I found very interesting. He is making up a suspension to install the Explorer IRS 8.8 in the car to bring the price in line. I looked at the Explorer IRS lately on a buddie's vehicle, and the uprights and suspension are very close in style and design to the original Cobras.

If you need more information, let me know. I'll be out of town for about a week on vacation, but I can get back to you next week when I get back.

Good luck, Bob
