Hey Russell
I think it's a neat idea to use the Corvette running gear. It's proven, lots of aluminum and cool for the "street rod" kind of car.
If your thinking of making the cars and selling them to the public, could I make a suggestion though; stick with a Ford engine and adapt it to the Corvette suspension. In the Cobra replica world, it's been my experience that most are after a car with Ford power. We tend to be a little different than a lot of the custom car world and tend to want to stay within the original idea of Ford power. It's a proven idea to use a modern suspension and an Ford V8. Backdraft does it and makes beautiful cars using BMW suspension.
I'm not trying to knock your work by any means. It looks first class. I just don't want to see you put forth a huge amount of work and have them not sell. That's only my opnion of course.
Of course, if this is a project for yourself, make it the way you want it!
Larry
