I have worked in the classic car restoring business in addition to my other automotive experience and I can tell you that there are no "EXACT" specs in any reproduction parts. it's like telling me that aftermarket fenders for a civic will fit perfectly since they are according to spec. I will take this over ANY kit car/ reproduction non-ford company ANYDAY and feel confident that the car would look 1000 times more straight, lines are better without having to spend countless hours trying to make a non-ford Reproduction car with an s2k or whatever crap under it look straight. There is NO way its the same or even CLOSE.......and I speak from experience.....
