Bruce, as you probably know, the factory comp 427s had reinforcing gussets welded to the lower control arms, as Shelby was aware they could deform under racing load. A mechanic I knew in NJ, Ray Heppenstall, used to regularly repair and strengthen these back in the day, and he would then forward the bills to Shelby American. He claimed he always got reimbursed. Shame they never gave you the same treatment.
