Here are pictures of my car as it arrived. This arrived as a completed roller although then it was taken apart down to the body/frame for paint and then rebuilt with some of the same parts and many parts that were replaced with original parts. More pictues in my gallery to see what happened after this.
I looked into just getting a box of parts from Kirkham since I wanted to paint the car and did not want to paint an assembled car. I also thought about getting a box of parts instead of a roller because I knew I was going to be scrapping many of the incorrect to original spec parts that are on the Kirkham roller. The bottom line is that it really was not much of a cost savings to get the parts unassembled so I went with a completed roller. If you intend on using the parts from Kirkham you would probably have even more of a reason to get a completed or semi-completed car. You will probably not spend a lot more money to get it done this way. Kirkham is not big on sending out a box of parts for people to assemble on their own so they really don't offer a big price incentive to do this.

To the question of assembling the car on your own. Even though I did receive the completed roller originally I have gone through the process of assembling the car (not myself but with a Cobra restoration shop) since it was disassembled for paint as I mentioned. So if you end up getting a box of parts and need help you can PM me with questions along the way. Here it is when fully apart during paint.
