This past weekend, I took delivery of my Kirkham 427 in Provo. This was the realization of a dream that I have had since I was in College and had to raid the washer for enough loose change to buy Kit Car Magazine.
I documented the trip with hundreds of photos, and I thought that some of the Club Cobra members would enjoy just a taste of the excitement that I experienced. If you would like, take a look at my gallery. I posted a series of photos in chronological order which document my journey to Provo, the delivery of the car, and the trip back home.
The car is an absolute work of art, and the more I stare at it, the happier I am. I opted for the stainless steel frame and every bit of billet I could get. As you will see, I ordered in a set of vintage "billboard" tires, but I also had them mount a set of radials on an extra set of wheels so that I can swith off if the vintage tires drive a little too, well, vintage.
I spent the entire day at Kirkham's shop, while Matt and other members of the Kirkham staff instructed me about the car. I met Steve Sunshine while I was there, and was happy to make his aquaintance. You meet some of the nicest people in this community!
A special thanks to David, Thomas, Steve, Matt, Mary, and all of the gang at Kirkham. I cannot say enough about the quality of the people and the jaw dropping quality of the cars they produce. You owe it to yourself to see one of thier cars in person.
Hope you enjoy the photos -- I sure enjoyed taking them.
