David,

If you find a "cobra in a box" crated "kit" laying around from the original offering, I'm first on the list

Original offering= 25K "Kirkham in a box" (aka: Crate Kirkham). Maybe a forgotten car where someone put down a deposit and then forgot to pick it up . You know, sitting in a crate in the corner of the shop,unbuilt, unloved, but not unwanted . I've got the perfect drivetrain for a 427SC and sell my ERA as a roller (unless you want an ERA roller without motor and transmission as an even trade for a "Kirkham in a box" ).


Have a great holiday weekend with your family.

Bill,

Oh yes, our experiment into fiberglass cars that turned into aluminum cars.

I wish we could sell rollers at $25K. Today, a frame and body goes for more than that. (Falling dollar and all that).

As for a scratch and dent frame and body--you never know what we will find around here.

David,

Would you have one of the really neat shifter rod kits for a toploader in the S&D bin?
I am using the forward mount position (289?) with a Hurst shifter.

Racer_X

What is the serial number of your car? I need it to see what parts you need.

Pedal box - Stainless - bare, no components needed
We do have a few stainless pedal boxes. How about $75?

Left side foot box - fiberglass
$400 retail--$200 today

Left front suspension upper a-arm w/ balljoint - machined aluminum - early car (2004).
I need a picture to see what you need. We have gone through several upgrades in suspension over time.

Left lower front suspension a-arm w/ balljoint - mild steel tube - early car (2004),
I need a picture to see what you need. We do have a few control arms left--not many, however.

Left side steering knuckle, spindle, axle stub, bearing, disk assembly.
Need a picture.

Any left front side body components and nose
hmmm, I think we have a few parts left. What exact body parts do you need? Send a picture and I'll see what I can dig up.

Front Left suspension structure - welded onto chassis-stainless.
Are you talking about the frame here? Which tubes?

Left side 427 headers and sidepipe - mild steel. or both sides in stainless
I will look for scratch and dent exhaust. There is one guy ahead of you in line and I think he is going to want the steel we have. We also have a set of stainless that were damaged.

Driver and Passenger seats
$1800 retail...$1400 today.

WOW,

I'm beginning to think we might have enough scratch and dent parts around here to make a complete car

Come to think of it...one of my guys just did that EXACT same thing a couple of months ago. He put together a COMPLETE car with scratch and dent parts from around the shop. My dad even GAVE him a 360 motor out of a pick up. He pulled it out, put on an Aviad pan and BOOM--started right up. Working here does have some cool advantages.

Hmmmm,

I seem to remember some short shifter rods somewhere...

I'll look tomorrow. At this rate the shop will be cleaned out in no time.

Looking. Those will be with the other shifter stuff. No telling what else I might find on the way.
