Well I don't doubt that the craftsmen at Kirkham would accomplish the job quicker and better than I could ever hope, everything I have seen of their operation is top notch...but unfortunately (or fortunately, depends on your perspective) I don't see clients or patients to earn my money... Just a blue collar fireman that scrimped and saved his lunch money to make his dream come true and own the most amazing, beautiful and finely crafted automobile he could imagine. (I'm still scraping together the cash to get my stainless sidepipes)
So I plan on taking my time and enjoying the process...I didn't expect to own an aluminum Cobra until retirement IF EVER...and since retirement is 20+ years away, I have the time.
