It looks like he welded in a Jag rear and front clip without regard to ride height, geometry, etc..... You can see the rear coil overs have no adjustment left and his ride height is still way too high. Shelboss is right, the shock mounts are completely wrong for this application. In fact, I'm not even sure the differential is mounted correctly.

The chassis looks weak also, with only one cross brace in the rear and nothing forward except for the 2 x 4 cross brace in front that the steering rack is mounted to? I thought scratch building was a handful, but this project will be a nightmare to get right. IMHO, his starting price is way too high for what he is offering. No doubt some one will give him his price and have the skills to complete this Cobra but it wouldn't be me- at least for that price......
