Are the meatballs and numbers on the side of the car static clings or are they painted on? It looks like they are smaller than what I have come to expect. If they are not painted on, I'd remove them. The pin stripes next to the big stripes don't look right either, but that is not as noticeable as the meatballs and numbers. If someone goes to the trouble of painting a Kirkham, it would be nice to get the details right.

I guess I'm looking at this from the angle of the buyer getting a bargain on a Kirkham. For $35k, it's kind of like a painted roller, with hopefully only needing a few thousand dollars for missing parts and proper suspension parts.

As far as selling the car on ebay, it would be good if the description of the car included the estimated price of parts from Kirkham to make the car right. That way a potential buyer could weight that along with the cost of a roller and what they think it may have cost to have the car painted. I guess the potential buyer might take the Iron Man connection into the equation, but I don't really see that adding much if anything.

Good luck with finishing the car if you decide to keep it. It seems like you got a good discount on a Kirkham.
