Gee Dave,
This is a tough one.. Is this a small piece of a large puzzle. My guess, and I do mean guess is the scuttle frame to the XJ13. If it is I think you chose the second best car in the world to reproduce in alloy. Hersh:) PS..Yeah, I know, it's wood he is cutting but it's cheaper to proto wood than billit |
This is one of many pieces for building a buck, to build a trailer to tow behind a cobra.

Maybe one day we will do an XJ13. I do agree they are fabulous cars. David :):):) |
I just figured what with the 289 model and the 427 model, what would be the next logical car. Actually, I guess I should have called it a Kirkham Coupe to be correct.

Dave,
That is one hard pattern to come by. Are you using a model or the real deal? Hersh:) |

Good call! David ... if it's not a trade secret, about how many patterns do you guys need to fabricate to make the bodies ? |

That would be a great idea. I'd love to see it from start to finish!

David,
You sure know how to keep your eye on the ball. I can imagine the phones have started ringing already. An honest to goodness alloy coupe. I know it will be awesome just like all the other projects have been. Hersh:) PS ..... I sure wish you guys would show up at Run and Gun with a few Cobras and that Rush car. This year R&G is going to be in Hastings, Nebraska so it's close enough for you. |
Uh Oh. I may have to put another storage lift in the big garage.

There were so many wonderful men who taught us how to make cars over the years. None of them ever asked for any payment--they just freely shared their knowledge. We'll share what we know-I hope the world is a better place for it. David :):):) |

Oh, by the way...
The wooden form in the picture is for the diffuser. We started on the 2nd 1/2 of the form today. I'll post more pictures tomorrow. David :):):) |
David,
That would be fantastic to see you guys at R&G. I'm sure you are aware it is September 23-25. It would mean a lot to see The Kirkhams at R&G. Hersh:) |
