Good job. You don't see many of those kits around. Do they still sell them?

[Cobra64]

I bought my kit from Unique Motor Cars in Gadsden, AL. Buy the deluxe pallet kit. It has the front racing brakes and shocks included, as well as a Jaguar IRS with dual inboard disc brakes. The rest is up to you. You'll spend a lot of time deciding on a mill from Ford Racing SVO and other goodies from Edelbrock, Holly, MSD, K&E, McCleod, Compomotive, Jet Hot, etc. The only portions I outsourced were the paint, tire mounting, and Jet Hot (ing) the side pipes and exhaust manifolds.

Plan on spending $34k+ on the project.

BTW, if you want to keep it as original looking as possible, do NOT use fuel injection and serpentine belts on the nose. Shelby would barf.

Finally, if you want t really difinitive history of the Cobra, buy Dave Friedman's Book Shelby Cobra book. See page 105 of the Cobra that Lew Spencer and Bob Bondurant drove at Sebring in 1964. I used the same paint on mine as Carroll did (yes, they still have the same colors available today).

"The Snake" is almost ready to strike.
