The Book...
First, I apologize for the pictures. This thing needs to be photographed in a studio.
Received a big heavy box from Provo today. Cheerleader was a bit nervous...last time we received a box this big from them, some live lobsters came crawling out and had her running and screaming around the kitchen. :p A 40lb book? This thing's going to numb my legs if I take it into the bathroom. All arruminum... http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...30754_copy.jpg |
Mui coolo!

The Book...
Every edge of the front and back covers tells a story...
http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...30755_copy.jpg The center inlay is of 304 stainless (used for the exhaust) and was heated up to about 1300 degrees to mimick header tubes... http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...30757_copy.jpg The back cover includes the same English leather as the interior... http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...30756_copy.jpg |
The Book...
Motivation...
http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...30758_copy.jpg Beautiful pictures (mostly by David) throughout... http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...30759_copy.jpg http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...30761_copy.jpg Including an entire chapter on how the book cover was made...an amazing work of art in and of itself... http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...30760_copy.jpg |
The Book...
Outstanding accomplishment, David...the book is an amazing thing that will likely be unearthed centuries from now and used to start a religion. :p
Thank you for the opportunity to "proof-read" it. ;) |
Wow David... even your books are works of art.:)

David, you might have already addressed this, but are you going to sell copies of these books? Sorry if this is redundant. |
I assume every book has a serial number and Ron will be the registrar. ;)
Well, I know what I'm asking my wife to get me for Christmas this year. |
Does the story end by disclosing the caretaker of this incredible piece of sculpture????
Craig |
I believe it begins by doing that.... ;)

Thanks, good to know, how do those of us not in the loop acquire this information ? Craig |
I fumble for words, I gasp for breath, my eyes widen, and a big smile of admiration comes across my face every time I see another work from Tom and David Kirkham.
David and Tom or Tom and David, I once again tip my hat to you both for your outstanding excellence in everything you do. Tres magnifique! |

Wow, great book! Perhaps it's actually a Kirkham I can afford! :D
|
O.K. It's a dirty job but SOMEBODY has to ask........Is this book "real" or just a replica of a book......? Or, based on the pictures of the "book" am I just dreaming?
|
Oh...it's real.
I know one thing...after wiping fingerprints off the cover numerous times today, I damn glad mine doesn't have a polished finish. ;) |
