Ohhhhh you guys have wayyyy too much free time.
Dave I would really like to see the Kirkham Cobras in person. Chris Sutton (shop owner) and Carl Wade were at SEMA. Said your presentation was awe inspiring.
Secondly all these guys are talking skiing....do they make ski racks for Cobras and at 100mph does that cause aerodymanic lift to increase MPG's? :-)
Regards,
Don "the office dude and rookie Cobra guy"

Jamo,
When we last visited, Mary whispered in my ear that she REALLY liked me more than David, Thomas or Steve but asked me to keep it a secret. She knows that if we visit, the adrenaline will take 3 months to return to normal........and that's only with the women!

Jamo & Dano,
I have learned not to underestimate Mary in the least. You have to remember she raised NINE children, mostly on her own while her husband was in the military. She has seen it all and heard it all. So just be careful around here.

Trust me, Ryan, I am in awe of Mary. I have no doubt she could chase me down and slap me upside the head...no doubt at all.

Now Dano...he's one of dem guys that has to learn the hard way.

Unfortunately,
I just learned that the last week in January and the first two in February will conflict with a scheduled surgical seminar and interviews.
Jamo will be my proxy so Mary, light the boy up!

I could very easily be talked into attending and have always had intentions of seeing the all of the Kirkham's in person, after having met Tom at DVSFIII. I also have interest in very very, and I emphasize very minor indent removal clinic .

Keith,
We have a new innovative surgical procedure that you JUST volunteered for. The organ procurement team will be knocking soon! Guaranteed to scare the "sc" out of you!

With all the questions reguarding sanding the aluminum Kirkham body, I am willing to let someone trailer my car to the KISS II, and let all the attendies sand and polish my car to a mirror shine. As usual, I am thinking only of the other guys and I humbley accept all the thanks I am sure to recieve for my selfless offer. Just let me know in advance when ya'll would like to pick up my car and I'll gladly watch it get loaded on the trailer.
If the KISS II is really going to be a learning experience, I will send along and engine/tranny/exhaust sytem, as to allow the Kirkhams to give an installation exhibition for the assembled masses.
If there is anything else I can do to make the KISS II a success, please hesitate to call.
Yours in handouts, SFCJ

SFKMP, this only needs a yes/no answer-the type of questions you always liked and so we don't hi-jack David's thread

Have you moved yet?

If you guys want to go skiing, check out Alta. It is 45 minutes outside of SLC and it is phenominal, but not glitzy. You can also ski over to Snowbird from there. The Peruvian has the friendliest staff, lousy rooms, but great food. It can also be really cheap if the person behind the desk when you check out has gotten ahold of some good "tobacco". I stayed there for 10 days with meals, lift tickets, lots of booze and ski demos and the bill came to about $380. I told the guy at the desk that that was definitely not enough and that I owed, and wanted to pay more. He was a little "foggy" and baffled by the complex math. He asked, "Would $400 make you happier?" Answer: "Sure, as long as you're happy." He was.

I am going back in January.

Does lard qualify as an organ?

I'm interested. Thanks for the offer. Weather is a consideration (no top). This is a really great reason for a road trip. I would like to see a rolling S.S. frame and a complete FIA car. Also a dent session would be good. I would like to be able to push on a body section to see how fragile or not the body is. Obviously I wouldn't want to do that to a good body. Do you have any cut off parts from repairs?

This might work - I need a short roadtrip - and would love to see the real deal. The only Kirkham I have seen is COVERED with human DNA.
