Thumbs up But it's Kirkham!

Wasn't there a recent post about how much better the Kirkham aluminum cars were? Why wouldn't that apply to a re-body?

Ask Jamo or Ron just how their Kirkham quality compares to a Shelby.

With the reputation the Kirkhams have in the Cobra world I don't think it would be a detriment, it could only improve it.

Please tell me that if Shelby sent every CSX car to Kirkham for final assembly that the cars wouldn't be a little tighter! Anyone?

I think I'd take my chances with that.

I wouldn't expect to see 100% price increase on my car. With aluminum rollers selling for $124,000, that would place complete cars at $150,000+.

I would think that a complete aluminum CSX car (re-bodied by Kirkham, the best in the business) would be pretty attractive in the $100,000 - $124,000 range.

P.S. I only bought the car from Shelby because Kirkham went out of the glass car business!
