Thumbs up Twin Paxton Build

Hey All.
Just wanted to chime in here and give many thanks to Rodney for his very positive and patient support throughout this project build!!
A lot of the success that a project reaps is do to the customer being very positive and supportive which definitely gets transfered into the project at hand!!
We are very pleased with the projects outcome in regards to the fit and finish and the overall asthetic design! All phases of the build were accomplished with the accuracy that we had intednded and that a project like this demands!!

As the Quote goes, "It All Fit Under the Hood" is a testimate to the success of this project!! And all functions are not compromised in any way!! We just love the overall
outcome of this build.

So far as the power output goes, this car is "OFF THE HOOK".!!!!!

This is the first customers car in which we did not throttle the motor past 1/4 of the throttle travel! We dynoed the motor and made many passes that attested to the strength of the build, so this was not a question, but the final test was left for the customer, and rightly so with a project like this!!

We have built about 7 or 8 Kirkhams, and this car is in a league way by itself!!

We did a 528ci SCJ 460 base motor in a Superformance, which made 710HP, and it was maybe 1/2 of this cars overall output!!

I would have not felt comfortable to throttle this car except at a track. It is that powerful!!

We wish all of you a very Happy Holiday Season and a very Prosperous New Year!!

Cheers,

Tom L
