After doing some research and looking at multiple Street Beast/CMC chassis online, I realized mine looked slightly different. The owner of the car before me had a folder with pictures of it's original delivery (which have somehow managed to stay with the Cobra since delivery in 1996 and about 5 owners). I went back to look at those for reference. Sure enough, my worst fears would confirmed. Somebody along the way had cut the chassis and modified it some.

It took me a week or two to find dimensions (shot out to "tony laboy" for measuring his chassis for me and providing me with the dimensions I needed). I cross referenced those dimensions with the ones my chassis currently had. Somebody along the way had cut the lengthed the horizontal frame rail, but shortened the rise of the diagonal going up to the crossmember. This lowered the front crossmember about 1.5" closer to the ground (effectively raising the front of the car 1.5"). I had to sit back and come up with a plan to resolve the problem.

My chassis as it sits now.


Picture of original chassis on delivery. Notice the single gusset vs the two gussets on mine now.


Dimensions I needed.
