Some more background on the show. You'll see my name listed in the credits as the Story Consultant so I was involved with the show from conception to final version. We shot the coupe at the IMS Studios in Indianapolis last summer. A great deal of effort was put into the studio shoot in terms of lighting and camera configuration to take fullest advantage of the HD technology.
I got the chance to spend a lot of time talking to Brock, Bondurant, and Friedman and the great stories they shared when the cameras weren't rolling were priceless, but we didn't have the time to include them all in the program. Each of them have many fond memories of the Shelby Era but have some long-standing issues which is understandable when you consider the pride, egos, and headstrong personalities involved.
Having the chance to work on this project was a thrill since this car and these men were icons to me when I got hooked on the Cobra as a teenager. I got to sit in the car, as well, and that was a goosebumper. I'm very glad the response to the show was so positive because for the production team, this was a story we really felt needed to be told with honesty and respect. And I think Sam Posey's voice-over was the icing on the cake, too.
