So if Bill thinks the body is attached differently to the frame than a Kirkham body is attached to a Kirkham frame; and Larry thinks this is a Kirkham body based on the seams; and I think it is not a Kirkham frame based on the shock tower being different; and we can explain away the big nose due to improper handling; and we enjoy RodKnock's rainbow unicorn picture; and we find Dugly's story lacking credible sources; maybe we can all agree with my goof ball theory that it is a Kirkham body on a scratch builders frame.
I'm not ready to agree with the Kirkham body on a scratch built frame just yet

The only two things I question at this time regarding the frame is, the COB stamp of course, and the lack of horn mounting holes.
