Great start and opportunity. Wish I had the time.
Just to clarify for potential buyers.....doors/hood/trunk included?
Also, on the pic (that I believe is the door), is that label indicative of an HST made body?

Hi. Yes it includes hood, trunk, and door panels. Not sure about HST?

Several people have asked about the body alignment, the picture is accurate, the front wheels almost hit the front of the fender opening.
This frame was based on the Cobra Restorers Blueprints, known differences noted:
1. The rocker panel tubing brackets have been bent backwards in front of the
foot boxes to mask the body alignment defect.
2. 1.5” inch spacers added to make up for the body being more than an inch
behind the dash
3. Page 7 of 9 of the CR Blueprints show a reference of 30.06 inches for the
rear “bird cage”, the chassis measures 31.5inches. It’s too long by more
than 1.4 inches forcing the body back.
4. Front suspension has the following defects and does not affect the body
alignment issue but may affect suspension:
a. Page 3 of 9, item 11 per the CR Blue prints is 4.19 inches wide, on
chassis it is 4.0 inches wide and located in the center of the tube
instead of the correct outside.
b. Factory “F” inner wheel fenders do not fit the car, from 2 different
original cars
c. Initial fitment of the upper front control arms did not fit initially. r,
Page 2 of 9 of the Cobra restorers shows in Detail “A” shows the
inner flange distance to be 5.88 inches while the chassis measures
6.1 inches driver’s side and 6.2 inches on the passenger side.
d. Front suspension mount per CR page 1 should be at 13.25 inches, the
chassis is at 13.5”, 0.25 inches off.
e. Front lower suspension bracket CR page 1 should be located at 1.94
inches from front of chassis, the chassis measures 1.68 inches;
0.26inches off.
