I am ACE and I did buy the Kirkham body with upper frame already attached. I did end up selling the body to someone that is using it with a FFR frame. I wanted it to have the correct mounting points, so I bought some 1965 AC Cobra Frame Blue prints to make sure it was done correctly. BTW the Blue prints are for sale $190.00. If you ever see the FFR aluminum body on there frame you will see that they cut the body to fit the frame. The sides are not flat on the Kirkham and they are on the FFR at the mounting points. If my frame wasn't already powder coated and the car wasn't already together and I could have done the work myself I might have went through with it. The Kirkham Body and Frame already mounted was around 20k and the guy that I was going to have do the work wanted 21k to mount the body and make the extra frame to body mounting points with a paint job. I would have had 60K in my car If I was to do it again I would just buy a Kirkham.

Just my .02 worth.
