Jamin,

The 1st cobra owned was a Shell Valley body on a hand built frame by a gentleman near Indy. Fred Hunt as I recall. Nice car. I had l5 years of pleasure from that car.

I do not know if Shell Valley is any better or worse than the other manufacturers BUT I hit a deer at about 45 MPH and did not do any damage to the front of the body. It broke the headlite and bent my antennae. The body did not have any damage of any kind not even a crack. The deer went over the windshield. About a foot lower and I probably would not be writing this.

Point is, aluminum damage would have been in the K's. Glass makes much more sense for everyday use. IMHO
