Charlie,
Component Craft was a very good kit. The cars are very accurate to history. The vehicle itself, of course, is subject to the skills and parts the builder used, but the basic kit is an excellent one.
You might look around the HM-Cobra forum. More information there. There is also a beginning registry on the Component Craft cars. Can you tell us where you're located. Do you have a serial number and specs on the car
