Doug,

Good point ... I really like the bare 427 Kirkhams, they look good in their raw form.

On the other hand, I have only seen a few of the 289 Kirkhams in bare aluminum, and to me they just look better painted.

The one real advantage is not having to pick a color, but then there is the brushed or polished, stripes or no stripes.

Any way you slice it with these cars, there are a lot of decisions involved, which is a big part of the fun !
