As I pulled into the parking structure, Joe and "Sandwich" noticed my car and waved. They walked over, eyeing the sizable dent, and said "Hey, we can fix that." I said thanks, that would be great!......and eventually got to the "how much?" part of the discussion. "Don't worry about it, we just have to get our tools."

Mind you, I hadn't bought the car directly from the Kirkhams.

Next thing I know, they're making arrangements to have their tools airlifted to the Reno airport overnight.

The next day, I get up fairly early (for me on vacation anyway) and wander out to the parking structure. I couldn't believe it, the dent was already gone, and Sandwich was just sanding the remains of the file marks out....you now can't tell that there was ever anything wrong with that fender. I offered to pay, or at least buy them breakfast, they refused, and said that they just like to take care of "their" cars."
I was up at the Cobra Bash in Reno in 2007 as a spectator. I'm not sure if it was Ron's car, but I watched the Kirkham boys pound out a dent in a Kirkham (car was parked in the Nugget parking garage) in no time and the car looked like new. The guys that did the work were magicians!

I was there too and you are right! and when anyone ask what "kit" would you build if you did it over I always say Kirkham!:D

Rest of the Story!!!
 
Yes, I am scheduling to take it to Kirkham Meca next week hopfully, seems like the boys have been busy fixing some other Kirkahms' Ouchs'. Job security for them.

TOld the adjuster it will be going to Provo to be fixed. So far he said "OK". Goes there anyway- that simple.

The real complexity to the story is that my wife hit it while pulling her car around to my shop to get washed. The car was in the garage- She pulled up put on the brakes- We all know she accidently put on the gas- She tried to dodge to the left- Hit the car on the the left with her front right side of the bumper- Knocked the car to the front of the garage- Stopping short of my Snap-On tool box by less than an inch. :eek:

THe real thought, SPIN. It is reall my fault! If it had been any other car- not the car I build with my own hands- she probably would have not freaked out and panicked- just stopped. So I am eventually going to blame it all on George Bush.

Yes she is still alive- 28 year invetment very expensive. I love my Kirkham but I love her more.:)

Actually, that's funny as shi*.:LOL::LOL::LOL:

That car was mine at the 2007 Bash. Sandwich saw me drive up with a dent in the left rear quarter and came over and offered to take it out. I offered to pay but he wouldn't take my money so we finally settled on lunch in South Lake Tahoe. It was another example of the great customer service that the Kirkhams provide.

Like I said if I ever do it over, Kirkham is the only way!!!

Oye vey. :rolleyes:

patrickt 11-18-2009 10:30 AM
Serious question: His roll bar looks a little taller. Is it just the angle of the photograph or does Kirkham provide a choice of heights?

RodKnock 11-18-2009 10:47 AM
It's probably the angle, not 100% sure. Mine is pretty tall too and sticks up above the windshield.

RodKnock 11-18-2009 10:51 AM
By the way, pretty picture.

Maybe the Kirkhams should polish that car while in UT. :)
