The Kirkham and ERA have completely different body mounting systems. You would need a fair bit of fabrication and redesign/rebuilding to mount the ERA body on a Kirkham chassis.

For a short while, Kirkham offered glass bodies for their "car in a box" idea that ended basically before it began. You can find glass bodies quite often on the classifieds, ebay, and other places that will fit and are designed to fit on a Shelby/Kirkham chassis. Some of them are very true to the originals. My carbon fiber body was splashed off an original, but I don't know which body. I heard a rumor my body came off the old High Tech molds? Can't verify that for sure.
