Really, that is all that needs to be said.

Exactly what he said!

Not exactly what he said... but the sentiment is there...

1) I'd prefer it unpainted!!!

2) Nor do I think that an original is a better car... Controversial point? Yes!
Though, I'd certainly agree it's more "expensive" car due mostly to its history, most I dare say would have to agree (even if reluctantly), that the "upgrades" offered by both ERA & Kirkham would make them "better" than original, No?

For me - I'd go billet bits any day, and twice a day on the weekends!
Plus a couple words quickly come to mind... "Mig Jet Factory"
Thus one more vote here for Kirkham!


PS - Expanded version:
Remember the body of a Kirkham is not made to the same weak tolerances of an original AC. The metallurgy is improved and thus stronger!
I recall a video of someone jumping up and down on a formed fended trying to bend it to no avail!
This denting business is in my humble opinion is somewhat over exaggerated

Either way I'd be happy to have either in my garage.
