BB Corvette, Cobra's arch nemisis!
A beautiful example of a '67 427 Corvette. They were reputed to be the Cobra's biggest challenge. They didn't amount to much of a challenge because of the weight and handling, but were, none the less a beautiful car.

Not a Cobra, but the right engine.
Front mounted V8 and weight of veichle (2150 lbs w.o. driver) makes this the same set-up as in a Cobra. And the years aren't bad either- it's a 1970 Mercury (Ford in Europe) Capri.

Oil System plumbed. I used the bad boy push on hose and light weight fittings. Was the easiest and I liked the looks.

Shell Valley build
The hood was bowed and warped so badly that we had to cut slots in the inner panel, fill with foam, and then add weight to level out the passenger's side. After the foam hardened, we put a layer of glass over the cuts and added weight again.
