Let me rephrase this. Shelby utilized outside bodies and chasis from AC. SAI performed numerous mods and improvements to get to the "Cobra". SAI was instrumental in the design of the 427 body and chasis with FoMoCo. He was going to or wanted produce them inhouse but did finally decide to let AC do the manufacture based on labor costs.

That to me is "outsourcing." The cars in the end were Shelby Cobras.

I believe you will find these facts in numerous Cobra books not just Legates.
