Ah yes, the Bury Men with the big hammers will never die because it was =
written in a book so it must be true.

=20

I do believe that some of the early Tigers did have some hammering done =
to the sheet metal.   I also believe that the craftsmen who were shaping =
the metal would use body working tools that would limit any hammer =
marks.

=20

I=E2=80=99m sure it took Rootes engineering time to develop the correct =
metal parts to cover the Ford bellhousing and transmission.

It is possible that Jensen had to message the metal some to install it =
on the production line but my guess is that Rootes and Jensen required =
bare minimum extra work.   Extra work means extra time and expense.

=20

A Burly man with a big hammer does not make any sense for mass =
production, it is a wives tale that will never die because it was =
written in a book.   It would take a team of Burly men to meet =
production and a team of Burly men costs money.

=20

As for the Shelby Prototype, quick and fast install required some hammer =
time.

There is some truth to the hammer on the firewall.   I can tell you that =
the Shelby Prototype Tiger still has the indented hammer marks in the =
firewall from when it went back to Shelby to get a 289 installed.   I =
can also tell you George Boskoff hated that modification and told me I =
needed to fix it before taking the car to Tigers United.   He didn't =
want anyone thinking that it was him making that modification as he =
would have done it with a little more finesse.
