Gentlemen start your engines!
My Senior Capstone will be a documentary depicting the manufacturing of the sports car Shelby Cobra 427. What will make my documentary differ from other's is showcasing the State of Utah's involvement in creating this slices of Americana. Presentation Objectives: 1.) Explain who Carroll Shelby was. How did this chicken farmer from Texas become famous in the sports car world, and how did he create his business of manufacturing his own cars? 2.) (If i'm lucky) I want to fallow how these handmade cars are produced. Starting with a buyer placing an order, then concluding the documentary with the owners first ride after it has been completed. 3.) Document and tell the story of Kirkham Motorsports, a Provo Utah company that is now the manufacturing supplier for Cobra bodies. Kirkham produces Cobra bodies and create their own Cobra's. They also ship bodies and chases to Shelby American in Las Vegas to be completed in Carroll Shelby's personal factory. Contacts: J...
