Default Cobras built in Pittsburgh?

The latest issue of "Classic and Sports Car" has an article on CSX2153, including a little background on the car. In the article, Joan Sherman, identified as Shelby's girlfriend and first employee, is cited as saying that many of the first customer Cobras were built by Ed Hugus of Continental Motors in Pittsburgh. The name of Ed Hugus is familiar, but I had not heard that any of the early cars were built anywhere but Venice.

Can anyone enlighten me?

Thanks,
