MT,
You've got plenty of research to do, along with planning your scratch build process. There are plenty of places that sell all the parts and pieces you will need to put together a Cobra replica.
Finishline, Cobra restorers, Bethania Garage, several others that sell the parts, pieces, guages, lights, etc... to get you where you need to go.
If you plan on building the chassis from scratch, you'll need to get a set of the Cobra Restorers chassis plans which run around $200 or so. Just about everything you need to know to assemble the chassis is on those drawings, albeit with a few minor mistakes that need to be figured out. The suspension parts and pieces are not on the drawings, however so a bit more research will be in order when you get to that point. Once you get there, just hang around here a bit and you'll probably find all the help you need just as I have. Lots of good builders here with lots of resources they are happy to share so jump in with both feet when you're ready.

Bob
