If so, you'd have to give him respect for the car since he built them at his shop.

I hate to break it o you ..but the cars were shipped fully constructed , even with a soft top on. All the Shelby team did was install engine and transmission.
then they went racing. Much like today ...the Mustangs arrive at the Shelby facility.....(note its not a factory )... fully complete from the Ford factory.
The Shelby workshop then removes parts and swaps them with others ....to end with a Shelby Mustang...
