See that's the problem. The statements in AC's manual leave out the rest of the story as Paul Harvey would say and to borrow a phrase from LMH is intentionally deceiving leaving the reader to believe the cars design genesis sprang from AC testing and development.
While the changes to the Ace to bring the prototype Cobra to the production stage Cobra were designed by AC for the most part their manual is deafening in it's silence on where the etiology of directed changes came from. They came from Shelby American. That's crucial to bringing the Cobra into existence. The designing of the changes to carry out the desired modifications could have been done by any competent engineer or fabricator such as Remington but AC was the logical place to design the changes SAI wanted as the changes had to be incorporated into the production car.
The production body and chassis was constructed and changed per changes directed by SAI with wiring and then shipped to SAI for installation of drive train. The original "kit car" or the Superformance of it's day.

I wondered how long it would be before that came up. The 2000 series cars were essentially a "roller"...
It happens today. There are a multitude of racing teams that buy a Ford Mustang "body in white" and make it into their race cars.

Gee Tony, you didn't know that every thread that Evan enters eventually goes "there"? Were you born yesterday? |

I was born at night but not last night 
Yes, all roads lead to this final conclusion.
And, no surprise, except for a few minutia, nothing new has been said that hasn't already been said over and over again.

True, but the audience is many times new.

Only if your Bill Murray.
Just pointed out the striking parallel. Don't let it worry you. Ignore it if you like. No biggie.
