Thumbs up

Call Tom Bernard at Tom's Motorsports. He is located down the street from Shelby's on Speedway Blvd. Suite X-112 at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway complex, 702-651-0708 and he is a Shelby authorized shop. He not only can install your engine and transmission but he can build them for you. And he can set up your chassis after the engine is installed.
Your Kirkham, if like mine will come pretty close, these cars are infanitly adjustable since there are Rod Ends on every A-arm and link on the car. Just like a race car. Your everyday wheel alignment shop will not be able to do this. Corner weights, ride height etc.. Plus his location makes it easy for quick high speed road testing. I opted to change springs from the springs delivered on the car. He worked on my car for 2 day's until I was happy with how it drove. These cars are hand full, especially if they don't work right.
I have a Southern Automotive sideoiler in my car. I wanted my car painted and Southern recomended Jodeco Auto down the road from them In McDoungh Ga. I had my car shipped down there and had Bruce Paint and install the engine and trans. and the interior. He did a good job although the alignment was not something he could tackle, so I had Tom do that.
Either one of these shops will do a good job for you. I live in Washington State and had Rich's Transport bring the car from Georgia to Tom's in Vegas where I met him with my rig. Rich told me that "your car is absolutly stunning" before he unloaded it, and he's seen alot of Cobras. So if your considering painting your car Jodeco is very good and reasonable.
