If you plan on driving the car a lot, the 427 hybrid frame is the way to go. Easier to tune and adjust the suspension as needed. I know that there are some die hard leaf spring guys that say that they can set up their cars just as well, but it takes a hell of a lot of work to do it. The 427 suspension is easily adjustable for ride height and alignment, something that requires spring changes in a leaf spring car.
If you are trying to do a dead nuts accurate replica, go for the leaf spring suspension.

Hex, thanks for posting the pictures of my car. LIke I said - just havent made time to do that. The drive was sure fun. Never been out on that road. Wish I could have gone the distance with everyone. The wife had an urgent root canal done and I had to bug out and watch the two year old while we had the dentist that was on call come in a fix the tooth. I'd love for my cobra friends to get a chance to take my car out at the track and drive it with the top on just for the experience. Highway driving doesn't really delineate as to whether it is needed or not. Sure it keeps the sun off the noggin, but it also obscures the views. Nevertheless, I like it a lot and am priveliged to have it. Thanks for taking the pictures and for thinking it "looks nice"
