Totally agree with you all.
I have little sympathy to adhere to originality.
However, Like Craig, I think the ultimate would be a Kirkham. Not only because of it's imitation of the original, but because it's aluminium and has some very nice, technically advanced features.
That billet alum suspension turns me on.
There ya go Craig.....a nice little part time business for you and scott.
Design a suitable chassis to Queensland specs, import the Kirkham bodies and suspension bits, and start selling.
