Franklin You would sell a car to someone else with a POSSIBLE DEFECT and say nothing about it for the sale??? Changing the front end on one car to the next is not a 10 minute job. From the readings Kirkham front suspension doesn't have the same anything until you are at the frame. Not even sure if the A-Arms will bolt up between the 2. The next problem would be Camber, caster, toe, bump steering, and acherman turning radius. This is some of the problems with guys on this forum with bad handling cars. I have gone for a few rides in some cars that have been setup for handling and driving. They perform nothing like the street versions of most cobras. A cobra with 15" wheels to get max speed and turning out of, needs to be drifted into turns or oversteered. It's fun to do but the car is slowed from tire scrubbing. Cars with 17" and up tires are driving a whole different way. Point and drive, if you want to drift the car it's alot harder and IMO I have tryed and don't like the feeling of control. I agree with your other idea, If Shelby Racer want an aluminum body or even fiberglass, should have done more homework and may have ended up going with a Kirkham or one of the other brands and saved himself 5-10 grand for a name. I have 3 parts from SAI and payed $25.00 more for a timing cover with CS on it and the Shelby blocks are about $500.00 for CSX058, and CSX 428 was over $1000.00 to match the number of my car from ERA. I know what I was doing and have no problem with this. I knew it going into the deals. I had nothing but great help from Mike Lefevers at that time. I think for SAI best interest they will resolve this problem without alot of extra activity. Rick L.
