Now that there's some patina. I'd like to see sammich and da boys fix that!

Ron...start runnin now. :p

I would've flattened it.

David Kirkham 02-04-2008 02:15 PM

Jamo,

I bet you could keep Ron on his toes.

I think that is what they call an excessive amount of patina! It would be a challenging one to fix but not much is beyond Sandwich's talents.

:):):)

thudmaster 02-04-2008 02:28 PM

I watched sandwich work on one at the bash. He ould do it easily.......

Ron61 02-04-2008 02:29 PM

:LOL:

Jamo,

You know the thousands of miles of canyons and forests we have up here. Would you prefer that I run toward Fresno where we both know the area better? :LOL:

David,
Did you end up painting it, too?

big-boss 02-04-2008 03:12 PM

David, About the cars!
Full on running? Both the exact same? Any other Kirkham shots in the movie? Besides the big crunch? What was the subcontractor/ supplier you worked for? Sounds like it was fun.

big-boss 02-04-2008 03:23 PM

My two cents aswell: They keep the cars and piles of cars until the DVD's come out just in case they need to make a couple of more shots and to keep control. Most contracts have a buy back clause for the subcontractor that provided the cars- typically a nominal fee. Then the succontractor sells them off- I bought the angeles Bronco on Ebay fee years ago- in sat in the mojave desert for 5 years for Sony. It will give us all a pot of gold to chase after in about ten years when Kirkhams are fetching over a million dollars each- We all know the drill.

David Kirkham 02-04-2008 04:31 PM

Bluedog,

No, there is probably no amount of money that will get me to paint a car again. Those days are long gone. The cars were filed when they left. They must have had a local shop do it.

big-boss,

They didn't run when they left here and they were not able to be run. They were movie props only. Both were exactly the same. I don't know of any other shots in the movie--Kirkham or other wise.

The movie house called us directly; they were very straight forward--and in a hurry! Quite easy to deal with, though. Rich Lacy delivered the cars.

Ed kept saying that Iron Man also dropped on his car. :LOL: He even had his insurance agent believing it. :LOL:

David Kirkham 02-04-2008 05:16 PM

That is a way cool garage. I'm proud to see a Kirkham amongst such hardware.

Jamo knows that I only kid about things. If it wasn't for me he wouldn't have anyone to keep him on his toes. :LOL:

Ron :JEKYLHYDE

David Kirkham 02-04-2008 07:49 PM

Sharroll Celby,

David

Jamo 02-04-2008 09:40 PM

...I'm thinking a body slam from the top rope for Mr. Medusa. :p

Venamm 02-04-2008 10:21 PM

Terrible travesty to such a piece of art? Why didn't they crunch a Yugo, or a Citroen?

Why.....!!! why!!!....didn't anyone scream to the heavens "TAKE ME TAKE ME!!!"

Ron61 02-05-2008 03:01 AM

:LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL:

Top Rope. If you step on the top rope it will immediately be the one below the level of the floor. Kind of like trying to commit suicide by jumping out a basement window. :LOL: :LOL:

Ron :p :3DSMILE:

David Kirkham 02-05-2008 01:26 PM

I can see Jamo firing up that grape tractor right now...

Heads are going to roll.
