Renegade Kirkham owners.............

Turk, you are the one that went outside the FAMILY! In some families you die for such actions. Although I won't put any ideas in Jamo's head!

David,
Great newsletter. Good reading. I did have some trouble printing it though. I would like to print each one for a referance. I do not get the right side of the page when I print. I must be doing something wrong.

Talk to you in a few days.

Steve,

I never printed my newsletter out but some places have a to print this button to click on which formats the item so it will all print on a page. See the NASCAR web site and I also think I remember seeing at the end of posts here a print this button. Otherwise what I do is cut and paste the whole article into my Microsoft Word word processor and then print it from there.

I don't even have a Kirkham (yet) and I want one!

Put me down for future issues.

Thanks

Whaler:

For the three upper dash locations, use chromium plated 5/16" slotted oval head screws with large solid chromium plated escutcheons (9/16" OD)

For the dash ends (2) use same screw with a smaller diameter escutcheon (OD 15/32")

Door limiter strap mounts, same as upper dash. All the originals I have seen used oval phillips head for the shifter trim ring. They are hard to find chromium plated, but stainless buffed to a mirror finish is indistinguishable.

All windshield fitments originally used oval slotted, including the side hooks, and visor mounts. Ditto for the bonnet latch mounts.

All the screws and escutcheons available from Motorsports Intl.
Hard to find at the local ACE......

Let's be honest--Kris got tired of the pizza and filled fried dough, didn't he?

So now you figure a bag of Krispy Kremes is good enough for the Mormons? You can't offer them meat--they have as much food stashed away as the Vatican has art.

I know--Tom Sr. was tracking down a crack in a water main when I was there last time--you any good with a shovel?

Turk,

Please be forwarned. Pizza is the best bribery material around here...but there is a problem. EVERYONE wants different toppings. You will probably have to order at least 5 pizzas/day to keep the crew happy.

Mike, please advise when you are posting requests on my behalf.

Families for Pizza? In Utah?
Are you kidding me? I would rather hire Al Unser's pit crew to work on my car than buy Pizza for the families of folks in Provo working on my car.
It would be much cheaper than to buy pizza for a stadium full of people.

Could someone please e-mail me the url to the Kirkham Newsletter or post it here so I can find it. I am looking to forward some of those suspension pictures to a friend and wasn't even smart enough to send a copy of the first edition to myself. I can only access it from work.
