Hi Doug; I have been planing on doing the same. I have a complete spare frame, but the most important piece to me is the bottom rail that is formed to the contour of the cowl. Mine has been deformed by the heat of the engine fire my car suffered when new. In a Cobra book I have, there are pics of two identical Cobras except for the windshields , one has the cut-down w/s made from stock frame pieces that just looks sensational ! I think the book is "Cobra, the first 40 years" by Trevor Legate. Whats holding me back(besides the bottom frame piece) is I think the airflow (+ dirt, bugs,etc, would hit you square in the face), and require the use of goggles or helmet !!?? I'll be watching this thread with interest.
Best of luck.
Ted
