Lew,
In particular the KMP difference is a key question.

Bretts case is unique in that his body is NOT a KMP (who built it, I forget). There appear to be some subtle differences in the body work of Bretts car compared to other SAI cars. Could be nothing more than the "pictures" as they were taken. It's not about "good or bad", it's a celebration of the differences.

I think the differences are SO cool because we KNOW the original cars WERE different from each other! So are Aston Martins! The door from one WON'T bolt on to another one, their hand made for THAT car!

Brent F. touched on the use of extra heavy duty "parts" used in the build of a Shelby, which Brett confirms. It looks like CAV in South Africa may be making or selling Shelby 427 Cobras? Now THAT is news! Glass bodies? Whos frame? Same parts as are found on Bretts car?

It has been suggested that sheet metal changes are done to some of the out sourced body/frames delivered to SAI. I wonder what that entails?

Thus, as you explore these issues deeper you wind up with more questions than you started with! I love a good mystery!
