Why is Patrick so depressing all the time? You should have been a safety inspector. I hear the FDA is hiring.

Why does Rodney need twin paxton's? What a show off!

Chas, it hasn't been 3 years. I think I drove it in 2011. I can't recall.

Well, I don't know a lick about the Kirkham rear.... But, if that was going through my (even) upgraded ERA outboard braked rear, either the half-shafts or stub axles, or both, would say sayonara.

I remember an ivory colored Kirkham with a blue interior on eBay a few years ago.

Seems like it was supercharged and the Paxton superchargers used ATF for lubrication.

That is too strange to make up. It made me think of Bill Cosby at 200 MPH.

Chas - I inquired. I'll probably go that route but may need a temp fix also (cutouts, little scoops ).
As for the double rollbar, only one person likes that idea...

rpatton3 - Yup. There was an ivory Kirkham on eBay with racing livery and screen, dual Paxton, etc. And they do run AT type F.
