But can you or can you not take the body panels from one of your Kirkham cars and put them (without adjustments) onto a Shelby version (even if made by you?)
If so then we are making the differentiation between a Lincoln and Ford with same underpinnings and different skins.
Thanks!

I understood your comment the same way. When things change over time and it can get confusing. Who knows, tomorrow we may be doing something totally different with Shelby.
The body panels between a Kirkham supplied Shelby and a Kirkham are identical. There is no difference (to us) between a polished, brushed, or filed body. They all start out the same. We just take the next frame and body in line and then file, brush, or polish it (according to whatever the customer wants).
Keep in mind our body panels do not come off the chassis. They body is riveted to the chassis. Another interesting note: Brushing a body is far harder than polishing a body.
