    Unfortunately, i am putting my Kirkham 427 up for sale. I have wanted this car for a lifetime, and I have had the pleasure of owning for a short while now. But financial and physical concerns make...

    I replaced the rear main seal with engine in car. The cross member is a pain to work around but it can be done. Hardest part was getting the main cap off. I can give you my tricks tomorrow if...

    Now to the front suspension – Front tire camber is really easy to set on a Kirkham. The lower control arm has these neat adjustments at the attachment to the frame. The rod ends can be pulled...

    First I set ride height on the front and rear. Just under 6” at the rear, and 5” at the front. Others may want theirs lower. This is easily done by adjusting the Penske coilover shocks. Of note,...
