Hmmmm.............A Kirkham "kit". Very interesting and I think there would be a market for it. Especially since it's arruminum!

Of course, as with all "kits", I guess it would depend on each person's individual talents and how much time they have to spend on their car (and how much that time is worth to them). How much prep work is involved in getting the alum. ready for paint? How many people here have good paint facilities / equipment in their own garages? I would definately have to pay someone to paint the car, so then it turns into: How much am I saving by having someone else do a good paint job vs. the Kirkham's?
I would suggest putting together a "kit" price and let everyone judge for themselve if it's worth it to them (basing it on their own individual talents). I would say that there would definately be a market for it. I know a lot of guys that can put their own cars together from scratch, but "time" is an issue for some.
Perhaps put together a couple of "kit" forms with some more detailed than others (like delux kits where you guys do more of the work / assembly).
Neat idea David and I'm sure there's a market for it. Where else can you get a high quality, exact repo aluminum body "kit"?
