Ernie, in my 19 years of manufacturing, including machine shop experience, I would venture to say that a "handmade" Kimmons body does not make a car more accurate or better than a machine made, and I would imagine, hand finished Kirkham. It is probably more expensive to produce though.
This does not mean to take anything away from the Kimmons body as I understand are quite nice.
The consistency and quality of modern machine presses, etc. help to significantly decrease part to part variablility, which ensures consistency. As a side benefit, cost is normally less, which to me is very important.
