Frame Measurements

I hope someone out there can help. I am building my own Cobra frame but need some basic measurements to begin. I am doing a 90" wheelbase car and need whatever you guys are willing to give. I know some of you will say I am crazy to build my own frame but dont worry I have the skills and tools I just need the numbers. Any help would be greatly appreciated. As most of you are doing now I am starting a 30 year dream. Anybody else have original Arntz Brochures from 1980? I have kept them this long!

Thanks for the help guys.

You can purchase plans for an original type frame.

Don't know if thats your objective. Here is a link:

Just type frame plan in the search field

Really looking for a Factory Five car. I would never steal a design just want a handfull of measurements to get started. What I am looking for is main frame rail length and inside width between rails. Cowl hoop height and width, cowl hoop placement from the foward start of the main frame rail, and full outrigger width and length. That would give me the start I need.
