Merc63,
Keep in mind that if you build an exact chassis from Cobra Restorer's drawings, it will be for an aluminum skin. You cannot expect any fiberglass body to fit. From the original drawings, you will really only use the main rails and suspension points. All of the upper tubular structure will give you an idea of how it should look but the exact dimensions from the drawings will be basically worthless. Best way to do this in my opinion (short of wheeling out an aluminum body) is to buy the body first, build the 90 inch wheel base main frame and then custom fit and form the upper frame tubes to support the body of your choice.
