I can attest to David's view on the billet proto. While I didn't put it through its paces, it was very obvious that it was no Cobra as we know them. It is extremely rigid and responsive. Razor sharp and as fast as anything exotic. As I made a right on to their street, the car slid a few inches due to some gravel on the road. It may sound silly but the way the gravel resonated through car made it obvious that the substructure was special.
And you think the locals would be used to these cars but they were all gawking and smiling.
Thanks again, DK.

Thanks Rodney The billet chassis car is indeed my favorite car to drive.

The billet chassis car is featured on an 8 page spread in the September 2011 Hot Rod Magazine--along with one of our copper cars--under the heading "The Goddesses."

I'll have to check that out. When does the September issue hit the newstands?

Just pulled sept Hot Rod out of the mail box. Awesome spread on the Kirkham cars. Should be 40 pages instead of eight. Doesn't do the billet car justice for sure but great to see your cars getting some recognition.

Every time I see a 'super car' comparison I think, "they should slide a Kirkham car into the mix to give some perspective!"

Great work guys.

The billet chassis car is fabulous because my brother is an extraordinarily gifted automotive engineer. I just figure out how to make his ideas come to life.
