Question is what do you want to build? If you want to build original style chassis you become very limited in options on suspension and it is a huge part of the cost. None of that info is on the Cobra Restorers prints but as far as the chassis goes they are quite good with some numerical errors. Suspension for originals is available from SA, KMP, AMP, RGB. Aluminum body we've discussed at length. Really the only game in town cost wise is KMP. That's because they use offshore manufacturing and stretch formed panels. Now it's not a hand beaten car it's hand assembled. The people that make the big dollar parts of the project are all selling cars and making money on their part of the project. It all comes back to the same old thing, time and money.
