i will have to agree with you one hundred percent about shelby building kit cars, that's what they are. he sells a third rate product at a first rate price. "sai" touts the cars are constructed with the same materials or better than the originals, now i will be the first to admit "lucas" does not have the greatest reputation when it comes to electrical components but at least they are original and not the taiwan crap that "sai" is using now. anyone with a "sai" 4000, 7000 or 8000 series cars look at your tail lights they're supposed to say "lucas" and a part number even most replicas supply replica lights with this logo on them. that's just one example of taiwanese supplied parts used on "sai" vehicles. as far as shelby signing items for money for the foundation............i won't even get into that!
REDCSX1 good luck, i think you'll need it ( i don't think "sai" used prisoners to build cars in the '60s either, seems to be some kind of trend here, cheap parts + cheap labor = C.S. )
p.s. i will have to say that the components that kirkham supplies to "sai" for thier aluminum cars are first rate and of a very high quality.
