A Kirkham or a CSX is going to be more "exact" than a FFR. That's what I'm getting at.
A replica is a replica. When you have to sit down and argue about the body material thickness, the exact grade of leather, or the type of rivet used, then we get back to straining the gnat and swallowing the camel. Considering no two original CSX cars were built exactly alike, I think there has to be a little "tolerance" there....but the tolerance isn't so +/- that it includes SBC engines and Viper V-10's. Shelby had his hand in the Dodge Omni GLH-S as well, but that doesn't give us license to all put 4-cylinders in our Cobras....but that's some of the logic that gets passed around here.
Put a picture of an original beside the picture of a new Kirkham, beside the picture of the "Cobra" with the VW engine and maybe all this will hit home. There are replicas......and there are kit cars.
