Cutting and jigging the frame tubes---assuming you mean the first step at Thames Ditton and not the California facility.

Just go to Shelby American In Las Vegas. It's the first thing off the interstate 15 after the truck stop exit #54. It's at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway complex Noth- East of down town. They do tours they sell all sorts of stuff in the show room. The Cobras are the main thing now(dare I say replicas?) .They are backlogged. The Series 1 production is stopped at about#256 EPA wants SIA to resertify for 2003.Las Vegas is a blast Just went to SAAC does Vegas #7 and am going back for NASCAR end of Feb. Petty ,Darick Daily, and Freddy ???? all run schools and driving experiances My preference is the Petty experince $99 three laps at about 160 MPH. You'll get an appreciation for the guys on Sunday mornings doing 3 1/2 hrs in traffic at 195+.There are about nine courses at the facility something going on allmost all the time. something for everybody. The NASCAR weekends are crowded and expemsive. Everything cost more then. My wife and I stay with my brother, just have to rent a larger car. I hate to promote tourism.
