I can't compare the people at the respective factories since I only spoke and emailed with Joe Weight at Kirkham. What I can say is that Joe Weight is an outstanding Kirkham employee. He's smart, responsive and knows his product. The Kirkhams are very lucky to have him working there.
Ultimately, my final decision was to buy a Kirkham and it was partly based upon owning an aluminum body over the CSX #. Up until the very last moment, the decision could have easily gone the other way. It was really 50.1% versus 49.9% decision for me. That's what mattered to me, but you're different than me and everyone else here.
My thoughts on resale market for each car is as follows. They both cost approximately the same to build (roller plus engine and trans) and both cars can be purchased used for about the same money. At least that's what I gathered over the past 6 +/- months in the market. I know of private party sales (or offers to sell) of both the 'glass CSX and Kirkham cars in the $75,000-$85,000 range +/-. That's today. The future may/will be different.
