Phil - As you learn more about kit cars, and Cobras in particular, you will find that there are few kits of the type you are asking about, and none are Cobra kits that I am aware of. There are some kits, called "re-bodies", that add body panels to cars like Fieros or Miatas, to make them look like something different. Again, there are no Cobra kits of that type available. One very good reason for that is that Cobras tend to be built with very high powered engines and require a frame and suspension and brakes that are very high performance. You won't find many frames under many cars that are built for that type of performance that aren't already sports cars such as a Viper or Corvette. Then to strip a body off of one of those and try to mount a Cobra body in its place would be, well, very impractical if not nearly impossible. Ernie's answer was as close to what you are looking for as you will find, and that is a few manufacturers that use components from existing cars that are attached to their frames, which are built to accept the Cobra body and match the performance levels that are necessary.
I hope this makes some sense and is helpful. I am in the Central Florida area and would be glad to help you in your search for information. Email me through the club if you would like.
