I have a 90" WB Hunter and I am only 5'-10". If I was any taller I would opt for Hunters 96" WB. I have drove a 96" WB car and it feels like you could take a nap in it with all the extra room. Randy does this by making a 6" longer door and splicing in a 6" body section below the door. The Frame is easy to make longer as well.
If you use a good quality rack & Pinion like the Flaming River unit Hunter uses you will not need power steering. I can turn the wheels with the car at rest much easier than my old non power steering '66 mustang.
Randy does offer a power brake unit where he has adapted a small Japaneese car unit to his pedal box. Effective and inexpensive.
AC to me takes away from the raw nature of a Cobra and will add weight and cost to your car. I make a fresh air system for my car and it helps keep air flowing around the foot box area. I live in Florida and I just carry an extra shirt if I drive it in the summer.
A toneau cover is in my futrue plans as it would be nice to be able to go out in the car and leave it outside without fear of the rain showers we get almost every day. A top is ok but the ones I have seen and road in let in about as much water as not haveing one at all.
