Mr. Bruce:

If I might make a comment. We've talked with Rem about the lengthening of the wheelbase for the FE cars. I don't know if 93" is the correct number but Phil made a "hard" suggestion to Shelby to lengthen the chassis but to no avail.

Conventional legend is that AC had already cut the main frame tubes to length and were not about to scrap "all that material". In asking Phil about that, he laughed saying, "they never had more than four days of inventory sitting in their shop at any given time". The Hurlock family, who owned AC were outstandingly nice people, according to him. But the operation was a pretty austere one, at best.
