Default Pure porn!!

Whew - for the first time since I quit, I have a sudden urge to light a cigarette! I was wishing I could have made it to the event, but now I see it was probably a good thing as I surely would have been shown the door after falling to the floor in ecstatic convulsions from the overload.

1ntCobra, Thanks so much for the pictures. It's greatly appreciated by me that could not make the trip. A Kirkham is at the top of my list....... someday!

Call the Doctor, it's lasted more than four hours!

David,,,,We had a great time. We left a little early, but I'm glad we did as the snow was getting pretty bad south of Cedar City. Thanks for the killer deal on the little parts I needed........Ron & Jackie

WOW! Thanks for posting the pictures! It's amazing to see all of those beautiful cars under one roof. Speaking of beautiful, somebody brought a very attractive significant other to the event-stripped shirt. Thumbs up

David,
I saw the pics from your annual open house last week - wow, what a great event. As I could see, all things were arranged perfect in your shop ! Looks great !

On a pic from the prototype billet front-suspension, I saw a 6-piston wilwood-caliper on the front-suspension...will they fit with 15" wheels to the normal billet suspension of my Kirkham 427 S/C ? I would like to go with 6-pistons on the front.....

Greetings from germany
Stephan

At one point, one of the Kirkham brothers (I'm pretty sure it was Tom) was discussing the wilwood brakes with another customer. I think the customer wanted to replace the baer brakes on a Shelby. The 6 piston wilwood set up on the prototype billet car was brought up, but I'm pretty sure that they decided that the standard Kirkham front brakes were better due to the size of the pistons.

Thanks for posting the photos.

I am extremely keen to get over there and have a really good look around. Maybe, I can make it to an open day sometime and meet fellow Kirkham owners.

Glad I made the decision and purchased my Kirkham..
