Well, I think the first thing I would do is determine what caused the fire in the first place, and then make sure I don't do it THAT way again...

Okay, I'm being a smart-ass, but I do have a point...

Okay, so those look like lugged wheels, so that narrows it down a bit (unlikely to be Kirkham, CSX, ERA or Superformance). Let's see a picture of the frame in the engine compartment. Round tube? How is the body mounted onto the frame? If it's an FFR you should be able to get parts relatively easy.

Default More pics needed

Doesn't look like a Factory 5 - no perky butt.

Detailed pics of the engine compartment, front suspension, trunk area, cockpit would help to ID it.

The cause seems to be rather obvious. The poor car's immune system rejected the rat motor and the resulting fever burned it up.

It does not look that bad - considering it was involved in a fire.

First advice - don't be cheap. Don't try to fix the body, just get a new one. You can use the time and effort to do it right.

Here on this forum are plenty people who can identify anything - they just need more info. Make plenty pictures from all angles and put it out here and you get that Cobra back on the road.

Third - just pay it forward and post your progress here. We all like to see that.

Thanks
