The typical “cars” we have sold to Shelby, were configured as follows:
Aluminum body, steel frame (early cars were painted, most cars were powder coated, never stainless), interior panels, trunk panels, engine panels,
oil cooler panels, kick strips, radiator shrouding, foot boxes, side vents, dash, fiberglass trunk trays on FIA 289s, and roll bars.
Most, if not all, cars were provided with provisions for a fresh air system to the driver’s foot box.
A few cars were sold with out interior panels
A few cars were sold with out roll bars
Early cars had fiberglass hood scoops
Some had no hood scoops
A few later cars had aluminum hood scoops
Some early cars, but very few, had throttle pedals installed
Some early cars but, very, very few of our cars were supplied with fuel tanks. It is even possible that all the tanks were returned as Shelby wanted to use fuel cells
For the most part, we have not sold Shelby: suspension, steering, brake and clutch system, seats, seat tracks, wiring harness, or differentials.
From what I have been told, Shelby cuts out the motor mount pedestals and welds in their own pedestals. I am unaware of any other frame mods they may have made. I am sure Kris Kincaid can tell us of any other mods they made to our frame.
Some of our suppliers are the same: Trigo, Autometer (Shelby uses his own CS faceplates) Moss Motors, etc.
Many of our suppliers are different. For example, Penske shocks, instead of Multimatic; Wilwood brake components, instead of Baer; KMS machining, instead of Accurate Machine.
There are several parts that we make and do not supply to Shelby. For example: seats, seat tracks, billet suspension, pedal box guts, differential housings, aluminum jack hooks, fresh air system, cold air box, fuel tank straps, etc
I hope this clears up some of the confusion.
