And getting a dead guy to sign an MSO is no easy task.
We have delivered both polished rollers and filed rollers to Shelby.

I personally knew Carroll Shelby pretty well. I also know many people who knew him well. I personally spoke with Carroll and dealt with him for many years.

I also know Joe Conway on a personal basis. He and I think very, very much alike. We have had long talks together. He is a constant improvement guy. It is in his DNA. I can't stress this enough. He is extremely dedicated to improving the Shelby brand and he understands high-quality parts are a bit more expensive. He has never once suggested we cut any corner--anywhere. On the contrary, he always wants to improve. He understands markets, metallurgy, brand, customers, vendors, etc. I quite enjoy working with them.

I would be damn proud to own a Joe Conway signed Shelby MSO. Joe cares.
