So I'm finally getting back into Mustangs after a several year break from them. I've only had two (87 GT vert and a 91 LX coupe). Well now its time for something completely different, sorta. I have a friend who has a 1991 GT hatch I want to make into a clone. I want to make it as complete as possible, but by no means do I want to try to pass it off as a real Cobra. I love the SVT cars and have lots of respect for them. I just like how they look. But I also hate the half-assed clones running around (wing and grille insert with ponys and GT scoops, etc).
To my point, what makes a "respectable" clone? At first I thought a Cobra was simply the body, intake, MAF, injectors and wheels/brakes. I had no idea it was so many other minor things (reading the sticky). I wanted to build a clone, tastefully modify it with some nice suspension bits and maybe a power adder for good measure. But I have a bad feeling making a true clone will break me if I delve into all of the finer details such as the leather steering wheel with no cruise, the brake modulator, bigger MC, etc.
What do you guys consider a good clone?

. i think painting the car and putting the cobra engine components, rear axles and oem rims, and body kit, your already spending way over the value of the car... get a good shape cobra for 10-12k. or just get rid of that rear bumper on the gt and put a cobra bumper and get the cobra spoiler and call it a day =)
