How to Build Cobra Kit Cars + Buying Used - Step-by-Step Assembly Procedures. Complete Guide to Cobra Kit Manufacturers

The original Shelby Cobra left a lasting impact on the automotive world. This lightweight British roadster, equipped with a powerful Ford V-8 engine, set new performance standards, won numerous races, and became an automotive icon.

Despite only being produced for six years, with around 1.000 units built, the Cobra remained highly sought after. In the late 1970s, companies began producing Cobra replicas as kit cars, allowing enthusiasts to build their own. Over time, manufacturers started offering complete rolling chassis and fully assembled replicas.

Author D. Brian Smith, former editor-in-chief of "Kit Car" magazine, provides a detailed guide to assembling a modern Cobra replica, focusing on the popular Factory Five Cobra Mk4. He explains how to choose the right kit based on budget and performance goals and offers practical advice on planning, budgeting, and tool selection. Step-by-step instructions with photos illustrate the assembly process to ensure a reliable and safe replica.

The book also includes a section on buying a used Cobra replica, offering guidance on inspection, evaluation, and test driving for those who prefer a pre-assembled model.
