Default Any guesses on what this KIT is?

Body shop friend of mine is working on this car, but doesn't know what kind of Cobra Kit this is? Anybody care to wager a good guess?

No clue, but it has an interesting hood scoop, that may be a giveaway to someone more knowledgeable.

Hint #1: The engine compartment opening, specifically the rear inner corners are a key to this cars identity.

Hint#2: Same goes for the design of the door jambs

I'd go with Arntz / Butler.

I noticed the diagonal bracing at the rear of the engine compartment too, but can't nail this one. Looks like nice body and paint work going on though!

Maybe just the pics, but it appears to be pretty long too.

Looks like it might be an NAF body at least. Assuming the chassis matches...

Not a NAF, but of the same vintage

My guess is West Coast....


EDIT: NO! wait.... My real guess is Emerson....

2nd Edit: Lonestar...?

It's not a JBL- They don't have the raised boss for the front marker lights like this one does...

Hell, I give up..... I'm saying either Emerson or Lonestar


LAST Edit: Ok, I think I got it- it's a Lonestar- I forgot that Emersons have the goofy leading edge on the door like my ClassicRoadster.

My final answer is Lonestar, Regis.

Ok, wait a minute....

This car has the hole for the gas filler in the center of the rear cross-valence, and the only Kit I've ever seen with that feature is the West Coast...

I'm going back to my original guess.... West Coast

Still don't know, but the NAF I had 13 years did not have that rake on the hood scoop nor the unusual louvre port. I guess I'd have to go along with mrmustang since he has had a whole lot of dealings with Cobras, over the years.

I just looked at the hood support on mine. Not a Naf.
