Mornin Gents,

Thanks for the props on the wheels Ford.

RodKnock, once again you're a mind reader. I found a set of Sunbursts and spent a couple of months trying to get them to fit. Just would not fit over the calipers. It seemed to boil down to lathing the inside of the wheels and/or grinding the outside of the calipers. Neither of which I wanted to do, so I sold them.

Griffb: Car has wheel foam, billet suspension, vent for drivers sid(I never sit on the other side), Dyna mat under the carpet etc. Engine was built by Tom Lucas of FE Specialties in Sacramento, feel free to call him, he's a proud Papa. He's an advertiser here or just google FE Specialties. In prep for the auction I had a full detail done. I'm talking wheels off windshield off hood off rebrush and stripe repolish. New leather on the dash, new seats, all hardware replated or repolished. Anything else you want to know you can email me at kurtmart@earthlink.com.

Cheers,

Kurt,

When I ordered my Kirkham, there were two brake options. One was called the "big brake" option. Is that what you have? I assume that Sunbursts will fit on a Kirkham, but a change in calipers would be necessary.
