You are artists in the fullest sense of the word.
I have finally made through all these pages after days of reading.
Words absolutely fail to express the beautiful sculpture you have created.
It may have a Cobra body and the same basic dimensions and layout but that is all it has in common with the classic AC car that CS had his team put a V8 engine in. Your Billet car is beyond the realm of the carbon fiber designs called "supercars" these days.
The Veyron may sell for $1.6 million, and I would guess the billet car was double that, and still it is an amazing bargain for the artistic engineering involved.
Bravo gentlemen!
Now when anyone asks the question: "Should I buy a Shelby or a Kirkham?" we can just link them to this thread.
Even though they will not get a billet car, the car they do get will be built by the absolute best.
I believe the name "KIRKHAM" will become the gold standard among Cobras, if it is not already that is!
Any painting by a great artist is better than the best work of an average painter. It will always be worth far more among those who collect art.
I will never be able to afford the best, a Kirkham, but put me on the list for an affordable coffee table copy of "THE BOOK".
Even if it is only semi-affordable, I will scrimp and save to be able to have a copy that I can hold in my hands.

Thanks for the kind words! I sincerely appreciate them.
We do our best to make our parts as nice as we can. I have a friend looking into printing costs in China right now. The quote we got back from the US was pretty high and they couldn't do the book in the 12 x 12 format that we designed it in.
We'll see what comes of it. I'll keep you posted.
