I think the Billet chasis is a piece of art and I am sure it would match or better any of the fine work you guys do. Pretty simple.

Would I buy one? No. It has been hard for me to digest the billet A-Arms and the SS pipes. BUt, when I weighed it (2280 w/ Iron Block & heads) and was able to get the chassis set up via a normal BMW type guy for $300.00 I can not only tolerate being off the reservation but think it is OK. I do believe that is as far as I can go.

I would have liked JAMO's suspension- adjustibility of the billet but tubular.

I think your market research would show that most of us all have modern supercars/ sports cars in the stable. Lambs, Ferraris', Vets, etc. Why a modern type Cobra?

If you made a complete new package and put a new body on it say like that Cobra prototype Ford was flanting around a couple of years ago wit A/C paddle shifters, etc. and called it a New KIRKHAM or even a JOE, I think you would have saddled another winner. I would buy one of those, ecpecially if a could put it together.

I also think the Kirkham name is beginnning to be a "Designer" name and just may warrent your own body style- Something Cobra like but that would match the art of the new chassis.

Keep up the good work!
