Ok I need some serious advice, I was looking at my Cobra II more closely today and the list just keeps growing on what needs to be done just to get the body straight. Heres a sample,
Rockers
Cowl
Floor Pans
Bumper mounts (the bolt on the inside busted! LH side)
quarter panels
re-alignment of everything, gaps are funky between doors and fenders and basically everywhere where there is a gap.
All this is tuff as you know, As for the bolt on stuff, it all needs to be replaced... all of it! Not to mention I do have a budget. The price and time just went through the roof.
Now the other option is I have a 1976 Mach 1 thats a perfect speciman, it has almost no body damage, zero rust, as far as that car goes the body is done, just some rust proofing and its good to go. I could simply swap everything over from the Cobra to the Mach and it would cut the work and costs a good 75%
And another thing about my Cobra is it does not have the original engine and possibly not the original transmission. So would it be worth the time and money to restore the Cobra, or should I just make a Cobra clone?
Let me know what you guys think,
