Kirkham and SAI cars the same?

[Hal Copple]

i have not seen either aluminum car in person, only pictures. But are they the same, excepting the VIN plate, do they use the same suspension, undercarriage, seats, frame, that sort of thing? Does Kirkham just supply the aluminum body to SAI, who then bolts their own frame and stuff under and to it? I had read that Kirkham makes many of their own other parts, in their Polish Factory.

Are they similarily priced and equipped? I have no sinister motives with my inquiry, just got to thinking that a lot of people on CC seem to have one or the other, and they must have their unique reasons. I guess on the Shelby/CAV issue, vs other "rollers" from SA, like my own SPF, there seems to be lots of opinions as to why someone might prefer one over the other, as relating to lineage. So if that seems important to mention so many times, i wonder why it must not have been very important to those who can go aluminum. I have always assumed the cars are pretty much identical.

But then if the cars are actually quite different from one-another, or priced pretty differently, then it would be very easy to understand.

Spending that much more on a Shelby or Kirkham never was a consideration for me, so i never gave it a moment's thought. But there must be very important reasons for many who do buy one or the other.

Like i never seem to spend any time wondering if i should get a Ferrari or Lambo, or which is better, as it is about as likely as me being on the next Space Shuttle.

Some stupid guy at a party down the street just parked his SUV on my new grass out front, how aggrivating to rut my fresh grass seedlings, break three sprinkler heads off. I did turn on my sprinkler to wet him down, he left by driving thru my yard, so i guess i only caused more harm by my revenge.

i should have listened to my wife, she said to have a piece of Pecan Pie, a cup of coffee, and let it go.
