Hey Paul, It looks like the flip-top will be coming home very soon for completion. 
The blowers are for another customer’s project. It's easier to fabricate parts on the front tilt. Darren
Note to Admin.: For some reason this post submitted twice. I only submitted once??

David,
On those sleeve nuts, did you fabricate those or find them aftermarket?

We make them from 17-4 PH (same material as our hubs, sway bars, ball pins, and anything else we don't want to break) and heat treat them (H900) in house.

That is a fantastic car!
Awesome is an overused word, but certainly applies in this case.
Thanks for keeping us posted.
More pictures!

Hi Paul, I completed the flip-top and am finishing the registration process. I still have some sorting out to do. The electric power steering pump didn't work well and I'm fabricating a mechanical pump. I'm using an Appleton rack and it was not compatible with the electric system. This build was a blast. David and Tom K. did a great job. After blowing up my Roush 451 in my other Kirkham a couple of weeks ago, I'm upgrading the cammer oil pan to a KMP billit. I decided not to go with a dry sump on the cammer just yet. I will post some pictures and video soon. C-Ya Darren |

Wow! I gotta come by and check it out.
I'll trade you for an Aviaid with the finish slightly peeling?

Rodney, the Aviaid is authentic. It makes our Kirkham's "more original." 
A beautiful oil pan by Kirkham. If I had a polished Cammer, I'd have to get one too.  |

You know I deploy for a year or so and when I come home the whole Cobra world has changed. Now I am forced to go see the new Kirkham experience for myself.

I took the flip-top to the 50th anniversary track day at Pomona 4/20/2012. Here is the video. Change to 1080HD for better quality. Enjoy.. Darren

Cool video, thanks for sharing.
Take it easy on that cammer until you get it broken in.
I still think that's one of the coolest cars I've ever seen.
How about posting some more pictures of the tilt front? |
