    @rasbury .... yes and Ford and GM also jointly developed the 10R80 automatic (paddle shifting) transmission used in today's Mustang GTs and yesterday's GM Camaro......Geez I'm talking about cars now - that's how far I've fallen and unlike Cableguy Greg I can't even sleep in mine! :-(

    You are 100% correct @Michael T. When we ordered them they were drop shipped to the modifier and then trucked to the dealers. Most modified vehicle plants today are near the plants or at least a rail head so they can go back into the rail system.  I did a lot of modified vehicles but again for fleet accounts, not fancy mustangs!

    And Saleen
    Wasn't tge saleen mostly just a trim package...like king ranch ...? I don't recall those being heavily modified like rosch or shelby...these new ones @Michael T mentioned I've not heard of.
    Saleen did some significant renovations that were all sanctioned by Ford, still carried a basic Ford warranty (although supplemented by Saleen), and had Saleen parts available through Ford. Saleen even had a hand in building the rolling chassis and painting for the GT when they were available. 
    But as mentioned, not on the Ford assembly line

    Absolutely - happens all the time. The 10 speed transmission for f150 was a joint venture with GM so any does not make such investments for nothing.
    I own a Ford Ranger that has that same 10 speed transmission, paired with the EcoBoost engine the truck hauls some MAJOR bootay!  Very happy with it so far
