Shell Valley is constantly upgrading their product. Rich Anderson bought Shell Valley a number of years ago and then bought Mid States as well. Recently they evaluated their Cobra and ended up using the best parts from both companies to come up with one, best Cobra. They are using the Mid States bodies for all of the Cobras now. I have bought 2 of the new bodies. In my opinion the Mid States body is one of the best looking on the market. The quality is good too. The hood, doors, and trunk have inner skins with steel plates bonded in for the the hinge mounts. The body is 3/16 to 1/4 inch thick, has kevlar in high stress areaa, and the fender opening have a nice, thick rolled edge. Their molds are new. The parts are straight and true. I don't use the inner tub for the cars I built. The weight of the parts I buy is 172lbs.
