I followed your for sale adds here and ebay. I saw the price drop and cringed myself. I have to say it made me nervous. I have been looking at different makes for sometime. I've visited FFR/ERA and looked over all I see at shows. The Kirkham cars have always been my favorite. I have never seen one in person but they are gorgeous in the images I've seen. I admire their attn to detail. I recently ordered one. I am on a bit of a payment schedule though. Your experience frightens me more than a little. I think you went overboard on your last build. The car was/is outstanding but alot of the expensive bling was not reall necessary. My car as ordered was $54,000 without the powertrain. I think that it better to start with a more modest build. The $5,000 Kirkham differential is around $4,000 more than a rebuilt Jag rear. These things can be eliminated b/c they won't have that much return value. As far as the driving experience I hope mine is more pleasurable then yours.
