Are only the 'sanctioned' Kirkham bodies going into the registery?

Besides, I thought that Kirkham being in the registry would 'sanction' them.

jdog,

Its only original (that is probably the wrong word) once. Haven't you noticed how some of the 60's era cars that have been rebodied or perhaps rebuilt from only a few remaining pieces, like the passenger side chrome headlight trim and a title are considered over restored. These over restored cars are often worth less than cars with mostly original parts. You may be the original owner of your car and might make these modifications early in the car's life, but when it comes time to sell it later, what will the buyer think? Perhaps, if you took the car back to Shelby and had them do the aluminum body and got that documented in the registry as a factory installed option, you might do better.
