Upgrade List-Trickle Down From The Billet Kirkham
I thought I would start a new thread and not muck up the "Skunks" thread.
Would love to see what upgrades are now available that have trickled down from the Billet Kirkham. Any news? I would guess CV joints would be one?

I was hoping something like this would get started. (I even thought about doing it myself, but thought it not my place.  ) |

Well Rod, I was hopeful, but I think the answer is "You caaannnn'ttt have it." (you know, like the chorus in " Magic Bus"  ) |

I'm hopeful that the Kirkhams are just busy and haven't put the list together and determined prices.

The billet 427 or 351 would be a nice trickle down item. A stressed tunnel and structural footboxes would also seem nice for stiffening the ride. Those might not be as effective though as they were on the billet car if they can't be integrated into an original seemlessly. I will say, as the designer of the Billet car, that anything is possible with some creative thought a little time and someone paying to keep the computers and the mills running.

Chris,
You should weld a backbone in your car like the coupe has. What do the calcs on that show as far as stiffening things up? |
