Brian, If you want exact, there's no such thing. The body panels on the originals were off up to 3/8 of an inch and more side to side depending on the alchohol consumption, PMS at home , and general mood of the English worker beating the panels out. The Kirkham is a computer generated mirror image side to side, high tech machinery, yada, yada , yada. So it is probably an exact reproduction time to time. Shelby has been using Kirkhams so you can form your own opinion from there. In the glass cars Premier Motorsports, ERA, Contemporary, Unique, Super Performance, Factory Five, whatever Shelby is using , and countless others, not necessarily in that order. All are great cars. Whatever you choose, you will feel YOUR'S is the best and is far better than anyone elses! My car was just delivered to the engine builder in RI on 02/19/04. When it rolled out of the Intercity trailer, and I saw it for the first time since it was painted, and sat in it for the first time, I can't quite explain the feeling, and can't even imagine driving it. I've driven Cobras before, but this is mine! The feeling is probably a mixture of my first Christmas, and first love. I wish you the best of luck with your choice. Oh, forgot to tell you. After you see YOUR'S for the first time, you'll have to go to a MD to get the never ending bulge in the front of your pants taken care of!
