Quick question maybe Steve S or someone else can answer. I had a great alignment done but I would like to lower the car about an inch. Am I going to throw off the alignment by lowering the car?  |

Yes, alignment will change if you lower the car.

Anything you change will yield a reaction in more than just alignment. Lowering the car will change corner weights as well as cross weights and roll centers. You will know it on the track but maybe not on the street.
If you are going to change anything, plan on changing everything so, anything that possibly didn't need changing was at the very least,,,,,,,,,,checked.

Having read all the above I think I understood where the fibre cars are now being made.
What I have not found is an information about the non-fibre version. Is that still manufactured for Shelby by Kirkham?

Wow - This was fast - Thanks a lot - So one can expect that those are not facing the same problems like the fibre versions - That is good news......

NC427, Not all of them are made by Kirkham. Shelby has a vendor in England who is also making aluminum bodies for them.

So, bad day at the office/shop?
Dave Kirkham's own signature line (current) states the following:
Supplier of frames and aluminum bodies to Shelby* for their CSX4000, CSX7000, and CSX8000 289 and 427 Cobra
As for the response to his original question as posted, the correct answer was YES. He did not split hairs, not quite sure why you are at this point in time either.
