Default Niche-Line Techs...who built your Shelby engine?

Hey Guys...I was doing a little research on the Nich-Line technicians that hand build our engines...I am going to post a pic of my signature plate...I cant make out the first Tech's name...but the second is Kimbery Naylor...thought it would be cool to see the signatures on other cars...

heres a link to a story of the builds:

I Think so too. It would be interesting to get several replies and see how many different people worked on the engines. Wonder if they always work as a team? Anyway interesting thread!

I made phone contact with the Romeo engine plant, I spoke with Paul and he had me email my car info and signature plate picture...going to get more info on the build process...

BTW Mark...got 2 new Nitto 555's from American Muscle setting in the garage...will finish melting down the stock tires and get those things on...thanks again for the review!

That's interesting Darrell. Would be neat to visit the plant and see the various stages of what they go through. Keep me up to date on what Paul sends you.

You are probably wanting to burn the old tires up fast now, Ha! I think you will like the Nittos.

I am in the process of cleaning my car up for the MCA Grand National show in Mustang OK. I've never done that before. Got the front wheels off and working on wheel wells, got the front undercarriage clean Saturday evening. It's quite a job, I'm glad I keep it mostly clean all the time, and that I don't ever drive in the rain.
