As far as I understand the Kirkham 427 bodies are formed over dies that are taken from a wooden master buck. This buck was CNC milled from surface data created with a laser or white light scanned/respectively tactile measured point cloud of a CSX 3000 car:
Kirkham bodies
You can tell the shape is spot on when comparing them with pictures of CSX3000 comp or S/C cars.
This is not the case for the Autokraft MKIV, so with due respect for the guys at AC Heritage I can hardly agree with the above statement.
