Getting a replacement body is costly. First, as others have stated, find the manufacture. Then go to that manufacture and I would get the whole car. I would put money on there are A LOT of stress cracks all over the car. It's hard to keep all those cracks from reappearing miles down the road! Glass guy's are especially hard to find! All the ones I found wouldn't touch an older car, especially a Cobra with NO straight lines! I've seen these wrecks before and fiberglass cracks where it's attached. If you try to get another manufactures body to work there is bound to be many more problems too. I believe a typical body will set you back at least $2500 to $3000. Sometimes the doors, trunk lid, and hood are extra and above that cost! Then factor a decent paint job at $4000 to $5000. I have seen a Super performance that was this badly damaged fixed but I believe it was over $7000 with paint and all. This road your about to go down is a tough one, I know! Good Luck.
