No I mean the front fenders, the rear flares, they radiator and oil coolers openings, and a few other things I might be missing, most of them if not all have been corrected over time. but when they were new if you lined up a dozen of them in a row you could see the differences. and just a note. I don't mean this as slam, I mentioning this as it was part of there charm each one being unique.

PS: I live down the street from Tasca Ford, and have had some pretty cool conversations with some of they old timers.

As I have said many times before, you could line up 30 originals and every one will be different!

Sorry, I should have been clearer. I meant what gauge aluminum are they using in the new completion series? The originals had a much thinner gauge then the current series. Its just another detail.

Per the old FAQ section on the Kirkham website, the 1960's 3000 series was made with 0.050" gauge aluminum. The Kirkham body was 0.059" thick. Not sure what they're using today and what anyone is using for the Resurrection Series. |

I didn't ask. But I would assume that the Kirkham is their standard. Drews are hand rolled so might indeed show some asymmetry.
