Thank you everyone for their kind words.

Let me just post some facts:

Damage, purchased this car directly from Kirkham himself. It is not the specification we use for street registration, but we worked with what he ordered. The custom work required caused delays.

We imported the parts from Kirkham and we performed some of the required changes for street registration.

The accusation of us putting a dent into the car is unfounded. The car was already damaged when it arrived. As Damage knows and paid fees for, the entire container was unpacked in the USA at a holding area for a customs inspection. I can guess that this is where it was damaged. Businesses like Kirkham and Absolute Pace who have the experience, expertise and care handle these bodies with kid gloves.

One of my alloy body guys performed the dent repair completely through to matched full polish finish FREE OF CHARGE to Damage. Damage was charged for some very minor disassembly work to be able to access the affected area. This was detailed in his invoice. We performed the panel work free of charge not from being guilty about anything, just going that extra mile as we do to make our customers happy.

Also we have been accused of messing up the wiring in his Kirkham, in particular behind the dash. We did not perform any wiring work on Damage's car, actually we did not even remove the dash. That wiring is how it arrived in Australia. I can take a photo of what our other dashes look like, they look similar.

We perform over 50 changes for registration compliance. Not all of those changes were performed to Damage's car, but most were and he was invoiced appropriately. Due to the specification of Damage's Kirkham it required a number of custom items to be supplied. But the changes are in line with the Kirkham design and blend and integrate. You would need to have an untouched USA version to compare directly to find the differences. Same reason why we manufacture tailight assembles, high brake assemblies etc, all to keep the finished product to the high standard of the Kirkham product.

Just to correct the importing information posted by Damage. You cannot currently import a complete Kirkham for full street registration to Australia. You cannot even import a Kirkham roller. These will be turned away or destroyed. We import the separate components as per customs guidelines. All Kirkham kits we supply are disassembled kits.

We also did not lose any parts from Damage's vehicle. All the parts that were shipped from Kirkham for his Kirkham were supplied to him.

Is there anything else that I missed?

We are being unfairly blamed for things we were not responsible for.

I stand 100% behind the work that was performed, the price and the expertise and passion we have for the product.
