Again Bill S, I am sorry if I wasted your time, and I do appreciate everyone's time here but if I had the information you say I should have then I wouldn't need this thread, so lets move on from that.
I already mentioned the stamps on the frame and the matching stamp on the truck clasp, they were there when I purchased it, who put it there is a mystery and that's why we hare here now. Yes, 7 years ago the paint was ground off to better expose the chassis number. I have already mentioned that, I think that's why it has rust, it may have even been brushed, ground again, I have only had it for a couple of weeks so what was done in the past 7 years I don't know.
As far as who the cobra builder is it doesn't make a difference to this thread, he has now quit building Cobra's and couldn't afford to complete this car, end of story and because I know where it came from originally, so again lets move on.
If I had more info I would share it, so let's quit accusing me of hiding information.
Thanks
BK
