About a year + ago, the Kirkhams were taking orders on building 10 Daytona Coupes made from aluminum. However, I'm sure it took a back seat to Mr. Ellison's Billet car and progress on the Coupe was stopped or slowed down considerably.
Personally, I would love an update. |

David, How about a couple accessories?
1. A cool "removable" Armrest/compartement with a drink holder for the long drives? Needs to be removable for the track. I have seen others but am sure you guys can design something really nice and not too cheesy.
2. Retrofit a gas cap assembly for the filler tube.
If you need to work on the Block and Daytona first I'll understand. Darren  |

Darren,
We did make a really nice console box in a car some time ago. I didn't think about a drink holder, but we certainly could have put one inside. I am not sure what you mean by question number 2 ???

David, Sorry I was'nt too clear. Obama's health care reform has made me a little delirious. I would like to adapt the filler tube to take an OEM gas cap. |

Darren, I hope for your patients' sake they keep paying you and your dedicated guys.
Gas Cap,
Do you mean you want the big 4 inch fuel filler hose for the gas cap?

David, I would like to have a secondary gas cap inside the filler cap as a precaution in the event of an accident and roll over. We all know how I drive and being in the business of taking car of broken bodies has made me overly cautious. PS KMP500 is running great. I participated in my first autocross last weekend.

RE: Aerogel mentioned on Reply#1023
" Every pocket on the inside of the tunnel was filled with individually cut out Aerogel-impregnated insulation. Aerogel is an amazing insulation "
Is this the product ?
http://homepages.cae.wisc.edu/~aerog...utaerogel.html
Are there any other specialty products used that may be of interest ?
............thanks

The real trick would be to adapt Ford's capless fuel door that was introduced on the Ford GT and is now standard on most 2009/2010 Ford products

Hmmm,
Let me think about that.
I hope the autocross went well!

The coupe project was sidelined for a number of reasons. We never really decided on a price so we didn't take any deposits--though we could have taken quite a few. I am not sure where it ends up in the list of things to do right now. I will keep you all posted.
