welcome to the SCMC forums. That is a very nice looking Cobra. The Mystichromes are very sharp vehicles.
*To quiet the noise of your short throw shifter, you can check out this website
http://stangshiftergaskets.com/ Some of the short throw shifters feel notchy.
*I don't know if they are still available, but this is the number you should call for your build # and certificate. 1-800-FORD-SVT, they will need your VIN #
*If you are in need of a good quality car cover, there are several good brands to choose from, like the California Car Cover
http://www.calcarcover.com/ , or Covercraft
http://www.covercraft.com/ . Both companies make car covers specifically designed to fit the Cobras.
*My suggestions for fixing the paint chips would be to find a good paint guy, and have him repaint the area that looks bad. The problem with using a touch up paint, especially with the Mystichrome paint, is that it will not match. The Mystichrome paint is a multi stage paint, that wont look right coming out of a little bottle. I have seen several Mystichromes that had touch up paint, and it stuck out like a sore thumb.
I can't help you on the radiator overflow deal. I don't know if the elevation change could have done it. Hopefully, someone here can guide you down the right path with that issue.
Once again, welcome to the SCMC forums. We hope that you can join the club, officially.
