Guys,

The nuts and bolts of it all is simply this, we are all building kits that are replicas of Shelby's cobra.

For the same reason I dont put a corvette nose on it, I would like a reproduction of the ID tag. I plan to do as much as possible of the car to the original true specs of the cobra, so that I can FEEL what they felt, driving it, looking at it, washing it, back in the mid sixties.

Some things like the side oiler and even a correct frame reproduction are more difficult to come by an Id tag may be only a small part, but it is true to MY cobra fantasy. Anyone with half a brain would know that a REAL mid-sixties Shelby cobra would not be driving to cruise nights at the local burger shop.

Thanks for the help guys.
