Back in 1992 I bought a Cobra kit car from a guy up north in Pleasanton
. The only paper work he had was an Auction reciept
from the Auction he originally purchased the car from in Los Angeles Area.
I think it was Spectrum Auctions.
Since then I have damaged the right front headlamp /nose area and i want
to get it fixed. There are no identifying labels on the Glass Body. It has the
typical lower passenger front fender just like the Steve Arnst bodies of the
70"s. I knew Steve and used to visit his shop alot back then and know the
story of how the mold got that way when someone stood on the car. Anyways
the most definining look on this car is the fact that its rear body is smooth around the fender openings with out the normal 2" flare. Also it seems to be
a little wider rear body width.
Where are there local meetings that have members who have years of experience to help me identify this a) clone knock off b) the original mfg
c) a local builder that can repair the body.
I can provide photos of the vehicle to help identify it or I can trailer it to
a LARGE gathering of cobra experts / afficianados who can help identify it.
It has a cheesy flimsy steel frame that looks homemade at best and I actually
cannot find anywhere where the body is actually bolted down.
The reason for the damages is that a caliper came off on the rear solid ford
rear end and then the tire and axle flew out and turned me into the center divider on the freeway in Scotts Valley, Ca. Lucky i was already slowing down
for slow traffic and was only going about 40 mph.
Also after talking to Bill Emerson when and where are the as local to me as possible club meetings that enough people attend to get answers. I"m in San Jose, ca. The car has sat for 10yrs and now i'm retired and want to fix it.
thank you if you got this far...lol

I know the frame is a home made frame but i'm only concerned with the
mfg of the body so i can purchase a nose piece from the mold. The rest
of the work i can do myself. I just need a nose piece only.
