Even some of the guys with the most trained eyes can't discern between new CSX and Kirkham cars and the originals....they just look newer. But underneath, they are exactly replicas, as I mentioned above.

There are also other degrees of replicating, as demonstrated by the other manufacturers.

When you get into, "a HotRod that is shaped like a Cobra.... With a giant asphalt ripping engine of what ever flavor you like".......then you start getting into this:



Like I said, if you want a replica, build a replica. If you want a kit car, build a kit car.
