Which is the best Cobra kit?

[Bumpster]

Brian - You must remember, and never forget, that there is not and never was a definitive original Cobra body. The originals were made of aluminum panels beaten and welded by hand. It would be nearly impossible for any two originals to be exactly alike. Also, changes, some slight and some major, were intentionally made during the production run of the Cobra for various reasons. If I were looking for a dead nuts authentic looking replica, I would get as many pictures as I could find of a particular original Cobra that I liked the most and try to duplicate that car. Find the manufacturer that makes a body that comes closest to the one you like and modify it to be exactly what you want if necessary. Since almost all replicas are fiberglass, and you seem most interested in appearance than anything else, that's the only way you will achieve your concept of the perfect look. Then you will be able to say that your Cobra is an exact replica of the original CSX**** Cobra. Otherwise, any replica will always have some compromise in its appearance. Most of the fiberglass replicas were (supposedly) originally splashed from an original body, and they all differ in some small way, so that should tell you something.
