That does it - although I just finished it, I'm never driving it again beyond the driveway. It will just become a full size scale model for garage display purposes only.  |

I've already had discussions with our interior decorator about incorporating the Kirkham into my living room decor. |

Hey Dan, I'm with you! Maybe we should all just stay in bed with the covers pulled up over our heads

I don't know, this inagural first drive around the cul-de-sac may be all there will be - first right and then left. This may be it for me. Too great a risk of whiplash from the rear, decapitation from the windhield/visors in a frontal, or grinding my gray matter into the asphalt from a roll over if hit from the side. Oh my! Maybe the laughter from my wife in the video background is probably from her contemplation of my insurance policy payout.

That's the spirit.
Now you might as well donate your car. To me. |

Two hoops are like a bumper sticker that says, "I'm With Stupid"

Yeah, I hesitated to point that out. I was afraid it would take the thread into a death spiral.  |

That's a good looking S/R you have there Dan.
These same type conversations go on at the Vintage Mustang forum too. Can't run roll cages, low back buckets, factory steering colums, or should I say spearing colums, blah blah.
