To answer you question, yes he does work for Shelby.
He's involved with every aspect of assembly, from fabricating and welding the frames to instaling the motor and trans as he did in my car.
I purchased a body and chassis from the Kirkham's, brought it down here and watched him (Kris) single handedly assemble every part on that car. (I was in charge of the food and that damn sanding))BTW all Shelby parts were used.
One thing I quickly realized is that no matter how much they all appear to be identical, they're still hand built and each one is a litlle different.
I've got over 5000 miles on it in 10 months and no problems.
