I wonder if the people who want the most authentic car will want the authentic frame with a fiberglass body?

Aren't most Kirkham FIA cars hybrids with the 427 frame? Do you suppose that is because the leaf spring frame option for Kirkham is just too expensive and a special order? Or is it because the 427 frame is preferrable? The hybrid has an authentic body with an incorrect frame, yet it seems to be the popular choice.

I always thougth that I would want to build a 427 SC car. But then recently I started to think that I could probably be able to afford a car sooner, if I built a small block car instead of one with a 427 motor. I don't think I'd want a 427 style body with a small block motor. And the FIA body is pretty cool.

Being a few years away from building a car, I'm probably not the right person to ask. It seems like you have some potential customers with deposits ready to buy from you. Which frame do they want?
