Because it's a vintage mustang. It's a common issue I've read on VMF and one of the reasons I got the adjustable strut rods for the lower control arm.
When you do the shelby drop you have to remove shims to get the camber back in just to get back to where it was because lowering the upper a-arm pushes the camber out. Well, back then, I believe they used a + camber with the bias ply tires, so Ford didn't leave a lot of room between the inner fender and upper control arm. Basically, on my car, I have no shims on one bolt and a small amount on the other to get the + caster and keep - camber, I think mine is only at -0.25*
Even with my adjustable lower control arms I think I was only able to get about 1.25 - 1.5* + Caster without screwing up the camber.
