It's not about my satisfaction personally. It's a fascinating subject in general, to me and I think to others, the contruction/re-construction of Shelby Cobras, new or old. I look forward to some inisghts and details from any sources.

Private owners, such as Brett Bolte or Evan. Employess such as Kris or Brent. A typicall restore of an original 60's era car can cost in excess of $50K. Wow, thats a TON of money, I wonder where it is spent?

Hopefully Brent will fill us in on additional details of the process of what makes a Shelby different than a McCluskey an AC or a Kirkham. Where the different bodies have come from, etc.

Interesting that AC didn't make all their bodies originally either. In some cases they contracted that work out. I wonder to whom? Austin Healey maybe?

No ax to grind here! Just a healthy respect for the history of the car in all it's phases of developement.
