That's a viable choice, but I'm thinking about what is more mainstream and appeals to a larger buying pool? Yes the '32 Deuce Coupe market is saturated with quite a few players, not to mention FFR's recent kit entry. But the allure of all aluminum bodywork is a game changer for this crowd.

The Kirkham's fixed costs are a given. So you make money with volume. I just can't see Arial Atom-type vehicles having this massive following (other than the fact that they go fast and handle like they're on rails). The local Cars & Coffee meet (Irvine...the grand daddy weekly event) is a good measure of this...I believe two Atom's have been the max # on any given Saturday. Even in car rich So Cal there really isn't this crazy demand for them.
