Drive mine to work all the time. Drove it today.
I would reiterate, you CAN specify the Kirkham to come as original as you could possibly want. Remember, they got into business making parts to repair / rebuild originals, and can pretty much come up with an identical copy if that's what you want. Original suspension, no prob, two batteries behind the passenger seat? been doing it for years (they only canged because most customers preferred it that way).
In the end, only you can decide between a plastic car with an aluminum CSX plate, and an aluminum car. Which seems more original to you?
