Yup--he said he had the aluminum M&L/Van Genaddi already, but that he was thinking of a new body--maybe a refresh? I know the Kirkhams have said it is sometimes easier to replace than repair--especially when the body has to come off for repair in hard to reach areas. Only spoke to him for a few moments there and at a courtesy tent later. I didn't even know what a Kirkham was at the time.
He originally had a 427 FE--refitted with a SOHC!
