Steve, from the Kirkham website:
"We use a round tube frame that is geometrically identical to the original cars. The 427 frame’s main tubes are 4” in diameter. The original 289 frame main tubes were 3” in diameter. All cars come standard with the four inch main tube frame. The three inch main tube frame is available as an option on the 289 cars. Some customers prefer the stronger four inch tubes even on the 289 cars. The 427 frame uses the coil over suspension; the three inch frame uses the older technology of the leaf spring suspension. We put your version together however you prefer. Both frames are the same as the originals."
I know what I would do (no on 3" frame and leaf springs), but everyone is different.
428street's ERA (street 427) is painted green, so you won't be the only green car out there. For me, I might consider black with red interior or maybe red with black interior. Then, there's blue with black or red interior...
Now you know why I went with bare aluminum. I couldn't (can't) make a color choice and I'm not about to start multiple threads asking folks for what shade of blue they prefer.
(just kidding Tim).
