Rodney it's a Shelby CSX4000 series body and I do expect it will be difficult. Worse case give up and save up for a Kirkham. From what I've seen IF the CR prints were followed I would've ended up with a chassis that fit the body and suspension close enough. I didn't start looking into measurements until I received the car in California and was figuring out why the body didn't fit(the tires almost hit the front of the fenders) and why the suspension didn't look like other Cobras I've seen. I've had a few experts look at it too and they are confused. Consensus was to put it back close to original which is somewhat of a moving target but at least I will know what the car is based on.
Nick's welcome to put his comments in on why this one is different and not to print, he doesn't return my emails.
End of day, I will have my Cobra!
Should be a good thread, who hasn't wanted to take a plasma cutter to a chassis??
I'm still wrapping my own head around the situation . ..
