As I said earlier, I don't know Kirkhams as well as I know FFRs, and I know you can on a FFR. And lastly, do you have any pictures of the cammer Kirkhams you are currently working on? I know about the copper cammer Kirkham and have a few, but they aren't very good ones. Any information about these cars is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Joe
PS. Has KMS ever tried to do a different interior to see how it would look? I'll admit that it is hard to go against the norm with a Kirkham, you sort of feel like your messing with a masterpiece.

We install a 3/8" closed cell foam under the fenders. It protects them very well from rock dings. Many of our cars have been painted. I painted several of them myself--though that was many years ago. Our cars come standard with a front sway bar. We can install a rear sway bar as well with no problem. I will post some pictures of the latest Cammer we did (the copper car). If you follow the "Flip-Top" thread you will see many of the modifications we do to install a Cammer. You don't need to make it a Flip-Top, however. Here is the thread.

The interior on we built on the billet chassis car is very custom. Here is a thread on that.

I wrote a book on the car. You can download it here for free.
