All of the above is excellent advice and I agree completely. If this is your cup of tea, don't let anyone persuade you otherwise.
However, take a look at some practicalities on this car. How in the world do you (or a mechanic) work on this thing? With the body on there are a ton of things I can see immediately in your pics that would be impossible to reach, including the overflow tank, shock towers, the item on the passenger side which I can't identify. All of them and many more woud require the body to be removed.
Any engine work will require the engine to be removed as you simply can't access spark plugs, or any front accessories with the engine in place. This will also entrap heat even more than an original style Cobra.
The huge slab sides below the doors just ruin the look for me and the overall size just looks wrong in a lot of ways.
Just my 2.5 cent's worth.
