He replaced his whole front suspension with a Heidts Hot Rod & Muscle Car Parts set up for about $550.
I replace the bushing on the front. New tires and this Cobra handles great. I replaced the brake fluid and the brakes are better than any Cobra I have driven. There was so much different in the braking before and after the fluid that I'm going to replace my fluid before I drive to Ohio.
Do you have pictures of the front tires, up close?

Thanks Dwight - Not much to see from the tires unfortunately. They look brand new. The car only has 2800 miles on it since the build. The last owner put 400 miles on it in ten years!! I've bled the brakes and pretty much flushed through all the old fluid in the process. The car has the original 3-reservoir tiny master cylinder and I'm wondering if that my be part of the issue. It looks like something out of a Walmart discount toy sale. I'm not confident in it's ability to hold any pressure at all. The brake pedal feels fine at application (no fade) but there's just not much stopping power. I'm a pretty strong guy too. I couldn't lock up the brakes on this thing if I tried.
