A bit more has been posted at work, on the Robinhood in the car park.
Don't use a XR4 for the donor, apparently the V6 is a pain to tune compared to the straight 4 Ford engines. Also with the XR4 you'll need to swap / heavilly modify the gear box to get rid of the 4WD.
Apparently you can also use Jags for the donor cars, you could get a old XJ6 for a few hundred which will give you bags of power and a little more style than a Ford.
And you say people actually pay money for M$ Windows?

Total re-design underway: on the whole progress is very slow as the car is taking up too much time :)

Gutter... you are a man after my own heart. Cobras are sooo sooo sweet.Originally posted by Gutter
Oh, I've dreamed about building a kitcar too (or maybe just buying one). Not just any kitcar, but a 427 Shelby Cobra replica. A company that sells them without any donor parts is only 3 hrs away.
Watch out for the side pipe. It burns like a BBQ grill. Take it from a guy who got burnt before. It aint fun.Originally posted by Gutter

look for "factory five" cars. Cobra replicas tha are mostly made to use rustang 5.slow donor drivetrains. 10-12Gs for the body and frame a freshly deceased stang for 2-3Gs afew Gs on performance goodies and you can get from 0-60 quicker than your sphincter will allowOriginally posted by Gutter

One day you'll be mine!
If you come out talking sh1t don't try to turn around and wipe you azz.
Lone Star has a much higher quality Cobra in that they don't use donor trash. They are built from scratch. Between the choice of a wrecked 80-something mustang frame and a brand new frame and suspension, I think I'll go with Lone Star. Plus, they're only 3 hours away, unlike FF.Originally posted by jboy

I've been looking at this for years now and finally settled on Lone Star.

I came across one of these the other day at my local rolling road, they were seriously modding the engine. If it wasn't for the fact that I saw the engine, I'd have been fooled.
