Brock had his opportunity,
but what he didn't have was time. Shelby American wasn't just racing. It was producing Cobras for street use,
and demand was high. Shelby gave Brock a drop-dead date
to finish the car. We had a 90-day window to build this car from the first sketch
to the completed running car to get it ready for Daytona. Took a jigsaw and just cut out
all those patterns and then put it together
like a big ice cube tray
