lakester,
Great photos! Thank you.
Any marking/chassis number(s)?
Again, wonder when your car was built, the combination of square tube and round tube makes it interesting.

4th photo in 5th group, showing passenger hinge and inside of windshield.
I think I can see part of the inverted "V"(about 1/2" wide and 3/8" tall) cast into the body, that mostly is hidden when the windshield is installed. Is it there, or is it my imagination?

The only other body, besides the Bennett, that I've seen the inverted "V" cast into the body was Tim Figuar's of Fiberjet industries mold. Tim said it was to stiffen the cowl.

Seems to me, these small, independent Cobra builders, Bennett, Advanced Chassis, and Figuar's (mold only), may have worked together, or at least shared ideas/molds/designs.
