Frame and rear end

[sideoiler10]

I went over to Rich's to check out the frame he has. It is indeed a Cobra frame with 2x6 rectangle box main rails and smaller rectangle tube floor boxes, etc. There are no number stampings we could find and no other identifying marks by which we could accurately identify it. I looked through the pictures in my copy of Curt Scott's Cobra Buyer's Guide to try to compare various companies frame configuration with what Rich has. There were a couple that looked to be very similar.

I suggested he take some digital photos and post them along with some of the measurements, i;e;, wheelbase, widths, etc. There is a little surface rust in the steel floor pans of the foot boxes but the rest of the frame appears to be rust free with either black paint or powder coat. The rear appears to be set up for a 4-link with a live axle, probably a 9-inch.

There are very solid steel tubing uprights for the door hinges and latch mounts, and for the dash and cowl supports.

For someone wanting to build a Cobra, might be a good way to get started and save a few bucks in the process. Rich said he didn't know what it is worth, so I imagine he would consider offers.
