Psinger,
Just my opinion but since you sent a trailer to get it, I am guessing you could have driven over and looked at it before buying it. However I think that I would at the least make him take it back and refund the money as you are in for a lot of work and need a good fiberglass man. Also since you haven't heard or seen the engine run, is it and the transmission good. What was the reason this guy wanted to sell it at that price which would have been a good one if everything fit. To me what you got was a combination of trying to make two different kits into one and nothing fits.
I believe you would be ahead to buy a Cobra that is from one brand and either building it yourself or look for a completed one that you can go try out and go that route.
Sorry to hear about the mess you got into but these cars need to be checked out before you buy a partially assembled one on someone's word and pictures.
