Hi guys,

When Shelby first decided to go into the kit business and announced the Fiberglass component car you got a bunch of boxes, the type of frame shown, fiberglass shell and there was an option for the Aluminum panels similar to what is shown in the picture. The Kirkham frame can accomodate an original riveted on Aluminum body or like the Shelby kit a fiberglass body as shown in the picture. In the boxes where everything else you needed to build a Cobra and no real instruction manual....lots of boxes!!!!!!!

The question to be asked about this offering is how to all these bits and pieces fit togther and where did they all come from. If it fits.....$10K is a good deal for what is being offered. I think the original Shelby Component Cobras sold for around $38K.
