If he is a good mechanic and wants to do something in the cobra area...I would suggest him to specialize in rebuilding the Jag Rear End's. Hunt them down, rip them out and go through them......sell to ERA or other. Now he is rubbing elbows with the Cobra Mfg crowed. Good benefits here…..

For a complete car...FF and keep your costs low with the donor car. Build it as a 50/50 car....with no emissions or computer crap. Sell it as a weekend warrior track car. (Tons of fun!) You can get cheap stuff off of Craig's list ....over time. You also need an in at a good salvage yard...........
Stay away from the period correct cobras ....but still want the look an original ...an example what not to do,...high back racing seats do not look right for these cars...yuck! Period correct costs will eat me...and you alive. I know…I’m in that rabbit hole…….and I have seen Alice!
