New Kirkham Coming

[Keithc8]

Looks like I will have a new Kirkham in about a month. I guess I will bring it to Dallas where Rob and I will finish it. I do not have a Cobra Club to join here in Arkansas so maybe I will leave it down there and see if I can join ya'll club. I just have to find someone to build the engine now and I do not want to waite to long. I have a feeling Rob and I will be waiting on the engine guy. I talked to him today and his wife said maybe in a couple of months if she gets a few things she wants. Look forward to coming to one of the meets.
I also aquired a real nice 69 Shelby GT-500, 4speed car with matching numbers, 50,000 miles, red with black interior. I have already been through the engine and put back all olriginal. This engine was standard bore and never rebuilt. I reused the pistons and all with a Comp camshaft, other than that it is all original. We balanced and blue printed it. The engine made 500ft/lbs torque and 450HP. This is one of the first times I came up on a real nice car at a far price. We have also restored the underside and the engine compartment. They are just like they came from Ford with all the stickers and markings. We have the smog equipement and all on the car. The neat thing about this car is that every light on it works and even the cigaret lighter still works. I may apint in the future as this is the only week link on the car, nic e at 5 feet but has a few flaws.
This car thing is a sickness that there is no cure for. I guess that is a good thing for me. Thanks, Keith
