David, no 427 Shelby's ever used weldment uprights. Thats a Shelby 289 thing only.
I'm all about original myself. On my car I have scrounged together a completely original style suspension, other than the brakes. If I could afford Girlings, it would have those too. When I build my FIA, it is going to have completely original suspension too with no adjustments available except toe in the front.
I've never driven an original style Cobra and thought it had handling problems. I REALLY like to drive 289's. I drive these cars gently and I don't abuse them, so maybe thats why I enjoy them as is without all the racy stuff.
