But lets not forget the vast number of differences that separate an original-style cobra (SAI or Kirkham) from a rebody kit for a late model mustang. The only similarity is that of body shape, which is pretty different if you compare them closely.
A re-body kit of a late-model Mustang? Mr. Fixit, for someone with as much knowlege of Cobra replicas as you claim to have, that's an amazingly ignorant statement! Have you ever seen a F5 chassis? It's hardly a "re-body" of a Mustang. Yes, it uses some suspension pieces from a late-model Mustang, but it has it's own chassis. In fact, the F5 chassis is VERY similar to a CSX chassis! That's like saying an ERA is a rebodied MG because it uses some MG suspension pieces
