Disclaimer: I especially like the look, feel, soul of a really accurate built to original specs replica, there very rare these days. Get as close as your budget will allow, ERA is a great place to start. DON'T get hung up on the details, do it YOUR way, within REASON and you'll be OK with it.

Since young (12) I'd read books about Cobras and 'started' building mine in my mind. Unless you're into the dingy mag wheels, the original build is not nearly as 'HOT'. Nothing is polished, nary a braided line to be found. If you're going 'original' get some 'ugly' old mag wheels and make the rest fit the bill
I agree with Excalaber, that there is something sexy to 'us' crazy cobra fans about a build like this, however it's likely because we NEVER really see them!
Q? Why are your rim's so dirty
A? Ah...they are suppose to look that way.
Not nearly as much fun as ...oooh that's hot !!
Either way, agreed on motor. I had dual carb's never bothered me a bit on my SC, but if your car has more 'SC' selections in it, then get a real 427FE (iron/alum). Resale, value is MUCH better, should you sadly have to make that choice.
Have fun making your decisions! It's a lot of the fun.
Cheers,
Mike
