I defer to the experts on the board.

Yes. Original sidepipe cutouts had rolled edges. Also, the left and right side are not exactly the same. The driver side cutout is set back a bit further from the wheel well than the passenger side based on how the pipes come through when coming off of a 427 sideoiler. Kirkham will not roll the edges but the body strength should be fine, just not original. I asked Kirkham not to cut mine and had them done by my craftsman during the build.
Sorry for a delayed comment on this but I just am not spending time on this forum anymore. I just can't take it any more. The amount of inaccurate information and the love of strange cars with "Cobra" bodies just does not do it for me.
