The Kirkhams took their own original Cobra, measured one side of it, mirrored that set of dimensions to give a totally symmetrical body, and build the whole lot to aviation-standard tolerances, so basically, it`s about the best you can make it, and all parts are interchangeable with the original.(Or were... not sure now that they are doing the billet suspension stuff etc!)
As THOR has said, Kirkham supplied full rollers to Shelby which became the CSX4000 when a badge was added.
