Help identify maker of this Cobra please.
I got an incomplete build book with the car. Has fine details on the 351W and Borg Warner T5 but nothing on the chassis. I will post photos of rear suspension and engine compartment as well as overalls to help. Let me k ow what else might help give clues to maker.
Many thanks in advance.

The first photo is the driveway where it say for 3 yrs under a cloth cover in Phoenix. Paint is baked. Tires are rotten and all the hoses were rotten. I hand sanded the steering wheel and applied new polyurethane. Polished the metal and it came out real nice. I've rebuilt the Edelbrock 650 cfm carb and replaced all the fuel lines. I've changed all the fluids (ALL). A few minor things left to go and it's ready for level one inspection. Hope to have her on the road by the end of the month.
Let me know what you think.

Need better pictures of the engine compartment and firewall. Front and rear suspension, trunk area, and of course doors and door hinge areas

The raised bosses beneath the front turn signals, the shape of the front fender flares and hood scoop, the rear spring mounts, and the wide transmission tunnel all suggest to me that it is an A&C car...
So that's my guess:

That looks really close. The e-brake and trunk are different. And mine is a 65 Cobra 427 kit.

Ok. The mystery still remains. The owner can't remember who made the kit. He bought it in 1992 from a company in Florida that is no longer in business. Anyone????

Lot of Everett-Morrison Motorcars in the South. They closed their Florida shop and sold out. I think the new owner are in Texas.

I thought Everett Morrisons have the corner braced molded into the body and use hood pins?
