Consider adding Kirkham to your list of builders producing a replica of the original, slab-side 260-289 roadster. They offer a nearly identical aluminum-bodied car, using a narrowed frame from their 427 coil-spring car. They also produce a slab-side with a transverse, leaf-spring suspension. If I recall correctly, Kirkham believes the coil-spring car to be the better choice.

Hawk cars are very well thought of and their approach to design and construction differs from Kirkham's.
