[Cobra Pack]

Last night, my dream of owning a Kirkham leaf-spring 289 fia finally came true. S023 was completed by the Kirkhams Saturday and Rich Lacy of Rich's Classic Tranport delivered it last night.

The Kirkhams were great to work with. I wanted a very authentic looking and well detailed 289 fia, and they came through. They were also very patient over the past several months about answering all of my endless questions. (I'm sure I was a real pain in the rear - but they never let on that I bothered them)

Rich Lacy is a class act as well. He's a great communicator and extremely conscientious. I knew my car was in good hands. I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone. Rich is also very flexible. He gave me the option of taking delivery of the car last night (at 11:30 pm nonetheless) or this morning. Of couse I chose last night.

Now the fun begins. I am one of the insane individuals that is sanding my own car. I know its going to be a lot of work, but hopefully I will have a car that will look about 1/3 as good as Pat Buckley's car.
