Welcome Grant! Yes, please post pics and progress updates. It is still a cobra after all! Of sorts!
How much of the kit is donor? The chassis is fabricated I presume? Is everything else from a single donor? What engine and trans setup, etc? Interesting stuff...

Thanks guys for the kind words, The donor car was a 2003 BA GT, it uses all the running gear suspension and dash and console, I also used the seats which only suit short to average people. All of the parts have been rebuilt before installing. I did the motor which was a boss 290 but I changed the cams, upped the compression with forged JE pistons and scat rods, not sure how hard it will be to tune but I will worry about that later.
