Baz, Good on you mate. Keep us posted as your efforts in NSW need expanding to all States.
For what it's worth, I believe a Cobra build, irrespective of the kit, is less of an Individually Constructed Vehicle than are some of the Street Rods I have seen.
We (Cobra builders) tend to build as the kit manufacturer intended and if we make changes they are usually to improve braking/suspension/handling etc. Certainly there are individual touches but these "individual touches" are mostly cosmetic with little changes to the manufacturers intention.
I'm sure many of us have seen Street Rods with huge blown engines, beam front axles, upright bus type steering columns, and bench seats with no head rests which do little to locate the driver in the vehicle. Whilst one can appreciate the effort put in by some Street Rod builders, the machines often wise just don't look safe.
Keep us posted Baz.
