No problem at all with Ron...talked with him several times when the G&S folks walked away with his jigs, etc. they didn't pay for in the 90s. I think he's an exceptional guy.

Don't hide behind me being a super mod or what you think is unbecoming. You're giving incorrect info and making it sound like Ron built Cobras based upon Shelby's own tooling...I find incorrect info like that unbecoming on a site that prides itself with maintaining correct info. Anyone that's been around and knows the history of Steve Arntz and Ron Butler and G&S knows the history, which has been on these pages for many years...you're wrong in making statements about how Ron built 104 cobras based on Shelby's tooling.

Your statement: "Ron bought the original Cobra tooling from Shelby and eventually built 104 Cobras with both 427 and 351 Windsor engines." Sure sounds like Ron built 104 Cobras from Shelby's original tooling.

Now, might he have some tooling of some sort from Shelby...probably does, but you're statements are way off.

I don't know what resume you're reading or if you're reading something incorrectly, but when someone tries to correct you nicely, don't come back all pissy and then whine about being picked on.

Check your facts closely and make sure you are correct...and take a look at your frame and compare it to an original sometime before you start educating the rest of us.

Closed until you PM me and let me know you're researched your facts correctly.
