Hi Mike, Welcome to the wonderful world of KIT CARS. I agree with Glyn. It's alot of fun to build your own car. More fun if you can take your time! And the feeling that you get when you drive it is irreplaceable. There are some great kits out there. In my opinion the first thing you need to do is determine what you want from your Cobra. I think that kits fall basically into three catagories.
- Kits that try to replicate the original car as close as possible
- Kits that use readily available parts, usually Mustang, to create a Cobra that is a good performer and looks the part.
- Those that try to build the highest performance car with the Cobra look.

Do you want a live axle rear or independent? Do you want to put it on a track? How much do you want to spend? The list of questions goes on and on. Not one kit is right for every one. Once you define what you want then you can narrow your search.
Just my two cents. Have fun, John
