Bruce, that's a good point. I don't know exactly how the body mounts, but from what I've read, I think it attaches to a frame substructure, which is part of the main chassis. If that's the case, then maybe Kirkham should consider making that substructure "bolt" to the main frame. This way the body can be removed for major repairs, engine and trans install, and then they would also have a way to sell a rolling chassis and let the customer purchase the body later. Personally, I think a customer removable body would be a huge selling point. I cringe when I think of the idea of swinging the motor and trans in the car, with that nice aluminum body in place. Just food for thought.
