Default Help pick Kirkham options...

Hello,

I'd like advice/help in picking the options for my future Kirkham, Lord willing. I'm looking for a budget minded, fun car to drive (as opposed to a dream car wish list). I'd appreciate input from anyone, but help from current or past Kirkham owners would be particularly helpful. Here are the options offered at the Kirkham website:

Here are some questions I ask myself to keep on track:

1) Is it an option that increases the value of the car?
2) Is it an option that I will be able to appreciate when driving, or does it just look good on paper?
3) Is the option an upgrade that increases safety or durability over the base?
4) Is it somehting I could do myself and save money (like polishing)?
5) Kirkham owners - is it something that you thought you had to have, but after ownership, never used or noticed?
6) " " - is it something that you always wished you had gotten, but didn't.
7) " " - is it something that isn't listed, but is available - like the big/tall man modifications (I'm 6'3")?

Thanks in advance,

Joe

Btw, my current powertrain pick of the day (or hour) is a Southern Automotive 428 and TKO-600 tranny.
