I had hoped that there was secret stampings somewhere that the OP could check. That may put it all to rest.

Maybe you have the Registry in front of you, but from what I recall, the top guys around the country like Stewart Hall, Dave Wagner, Bill Andrews, etc. bought early bodies & chassis from Kirkham and built beautiful cars, and may still do for clients, but they all had Kirkham numbers.

OP here, please if anybody knows of some super secret place where I can look for stamped numbers I would like to know. I have looked everywhere and anywhere I have been asked to look. I am open to any suggestions.
As far as me contacting Kirkham directly I thought posting on this site would allow everybody including the Kirkham's to have an input in this search.
The only number I have found is on the trunk clasp and obviously the tower top and I even invited a hot rod builder friend of mine to come and check the area's I have been asked to look previously in case I missed some signs of tampering. He agreed with me that all the paint looks original and nothing has been touched up. I am no car builder so I thought maybe I missed something, I don't know what else to say.

I would not remove that stamped number. Then it looks like you tampered with it. Or does it already?

I would maintain it and, if anything, have it modified or extended by somebody authorized to, or whatever a legal body allow or request you to do. (Like a 17-digit VIN, which is law since 1981)

here's what you should do. Get it appraised at a high-end Cobra specialist (you know their names). Get a document that says THIS CAR WOULD COST $200k++ to recreate today.

Use the appraisal as leverage when you sell
