Just confirm this for me please.

The Shelby drop is 1" down and 1/8" to the rear of the car on a 65-66?

Got some templates from a guy and I think his are marked wrong.
He's got the templates marked with an 1/8" closer to the front of the car not towards the back.

Correct - 1" down and 1/8" to the rear ('65 and '66 only - '67 and later don't need the 1/8" offset).
