SOHC Kirkham

[Motorhead27]

Thanks for that thread. I found the pictures of the Kirkham, and it's not bad. I'm not crazy about gray, it's a dull color, but it was nicely done. For the best picture I can show you guys of what I'd do, I found this picture I had. Let me know what you guys think. I wouldn't go with the simulated wood, it would be carbon fiber.

It looks a little like the dash of my old Sunbeam Tiger.

Not sure what a carbon fiber dash looks like, but as we've all said, though differently, "whatever floats your boat."

It's the old ice cream analogy. Some people like chocolate, some like rocky road, some like vanilla and others like bubble gum. Personally, I like carrot and broccoli ice cream.

Honestly, in 4-5 years, your tastes may and probably will change.

You could always buy a Z06 or ZR1 Corvette.

(inside joke here at Club Cobra).

Otomix, I'm still thinking about FFRs besides Kirkhams. I've already looked at all the brands, I know what I like and what I don't like. I haven't looked at them in person, but I've gone through the various companies and seen what they have to offer. The only brand I've been in, is FFR. But, I'm not really looking for other makes.

Rodknock, I like the ZR1, but there are better rides to go for. A Ford GT or a Ferrari California is more my tastes than the ZR1. But neither of those appeal to me as much as a Cobra.

Sorry, these photos are not of a Kirkham, but a FFR owned by Herb Fraser.

Yep, they are of Herb's beautiful FFR. I didn't mean they were of a Kirkham. Sorry for not making that clear. The Kirkham that had an interesting interior is below.

That's the one. I mean the workmanship looks very nice, but for my taste, it doesn't belong in a Cobra, Kirkham or otherwise. But that's me.

Also, the gray interior on a silver paint job didn't help the matter for me.

If the interior was black, it would look pretty nice.
