Cobra Rep - bodies
Discussion
Hawk do one with an aluminium body, but be warned it's not cheap! I think they're the agents for Kirkham who make the body, as featured in this month's KitCar magazine.

edited to say, curses I took too long to reply, I was looking at their websites and had to stop to wipe the drool off my keyboard!

Sorry pal, but metal bodies are very scarce because they’re so very expensive
.
RAM made one metal bodied version about 15 years ago I think. There was a metal bashing firm who tried to convince me to make a metal bodied Sumo as an option at £10,000 about 12 years ago. I declined
.
The Kirkham from Hawk is the only viable option. If you believe what’s in the latest Kit Car, it’s a damned good option too
.
So it’s a Kirkham or a resin rocket
Den.

well if i can find the link, i could get a 453 ford big block race engine producing around 600hp, for £6000+shipping from the states (brand new)
That sounds like a 429 based engine. You'd need a very big crowbar to get that in a Cobra
427FE engines, as per the original, are now very expensive
A 351W stroker would give a reliable 427 at a more realistic cost.
Guess what I'm planning
