Lookin' good!
How come the back bar on the roll bar changes from black to chrome? It also looks taller than some other Kirkhams. No?
Congratulations.
Since it's stainless, I guess you'll be driving it in the rain!

I could be wrong but that isn't chrome it's stainless. The roll bar doubles as a short wave radio antenna when not driven. Just kidding - it's terrific! Yes that is the envy color shade of green!

Whats that kid doing in the car?

Is he going to rake the leaves off that car or will you use a blower?

I have stainless kitchen utensils and they rust -- be careful!

Thumbs up Think roll bar is fine!

ENTDOC (Chuck),
Congrats on the car! I saw it out in Provo and it was beautiful!
Think the angle of the pictures make the roll bar look too tall.
Up close and personal, it looked completely appropriate to all the other cars there.

Entdoc - that looks very special. Enjoy.

Wilf

PS, you sure a small block wouldn't fit in there? It WOULD be different.

Chuck aka ENTDOC

Come on and tell the truth that this is your second Cobra as you are just now completing a Hunter Cobra. Will the Kirkham be for show and the Hunter for Go?

I must now quote one of my favorite Movies

"Look Darlin" Mr ENTDOC "is an educated man (with too many toys) now I really hate him"

I am thinking it's "Dr. Entdoc".

Anyone have any idea how many stainless steel KMPs have been delivered?

Wow! there's a lot of room behind the radiator, too. It looks like you could put an entire engine in there. Is that in the plans, or is it just something to sit in and make Vroom Vroom noises?

That engine compartment is too beautiful to put an engine in.

Guess it is time to invent a transparent engine to see your frame.

Very nice.

The rollbar is 321 stainless steel and the frame is 304L stainless, just in case anybody's taking notes.

Cameras do some weird things. I take all the eBay pictures, and I've noticed that the only way to get a good pic is to zoom to maximum (optical zoom, not digital) then back up far enough to put the car in frame.

Otherwise, the closest part of the car looks twice the size of the farthest.

Congrats on KMP 266.
