Why not carry your talented design sensibilities further to inform all aspects of the car?

Talk soon, John :>

John, my point exactly.

I like your JBL too.

I actually do understand what a JBL is, but of course if it resembled anything other than a cobra you would not be on this site, so it is a cobra of sorts. But , that is also my point. A kirkham with billet frame and push rod suspension exceeds my personal definition of a cobra, at that point it is a car that resembles a cobra. That is not what most people buy a Kirkham for, it is what everone that buys a JBL wants.

3 inch leafspring frame with correct steel suspension pieces. 289 leafspring cars handle incredibly well -- especially if you use OEM spec springs.
