Classic Glass 96 Cobra. Anything fundamental I should know?

[Peter C]

I am interested in purchasing a Cobra already built and registered in my state of SA. I'm at that 'age' and as a recent cancer survivor after last year in treatment I am feelin' the need... for something very cathardic... I live at the base of the freeway and to the Eagle... Croweaters know where and why

Last year gave me plenty of time to think what I REALLY wanted. Big Block and manual were non negotiable. I've had a pretty long history with modified cars including driving a model A roadster with no roof for 5 years as my only car rain hail or shine... I've had the joy and reality of a couple of big block cars, one with a 5 speed hence my desire for an AC to be likewise.

So, in all my googling and trawling NOT trolling... All I can find in reference to Classic Glass's setup was the chassis was ladder bar (via a photo), jag f/r BUT the body was 'glued' to the pan? Can someone elaborate on that? Otherwise the 100mm (I'm vertically inclined and had to drive my model A in socks) > and intrusion bars all sounds good?

I understand it's a kit car, it will at best have a honeymoon and then I'll be pulling bits off, making bits, hoarding bits, swearing, cursing etc...

BUT if there is a consensus that these were fundamentally flawed it could save me some unnecessary heartache!

Thankyou in advance for taking the time to read this and any thoughts would be very much appreciated.

Regards,
Peter Culley.
