"Interesting that the Hi-Tech measurement is closer to the FFR than the Bennett!"
It's the Bennett that's the odd duck, my guess that the FFR and Hi-tech copied originals, It was Paul Bennett who decided to "think outside the box", design/build what he wanted to, that at first glance looks like any other Cobra, at least to me. The fact that I didn't notice the almost 3" difference in height, still eludes me. We just pulled the chassis jig(with a chassis on it) out of the back of my shop to front of new slab using ATV wench. Then we used engine hoist to get chassis off jig. My measurements were quick and dirty, although I doubt I'm off by more than 1/16" +/-.

It's just body and frame, I picked up from Craig Combs. Don't know history/age. (besides, never ask a lady her age) I already have, built 427 engine ready for her, wheels/tires, seats, windshield, shinny parts, most of other assorted parts, except trans, brakes, and rear end.

Just need the time to put her all together...not right now, working on one off the wall cobra right now, should be done in couple of months, then it's onto the Hi-tech!
