David,
How much too big is the bore on the center section? How much meat is still there to make a sleeve to put in it? Thanks Mark

A race will barely slide in. My guess is 0.002" over sized. You should have plenty of room to put in a 0.050" wall sleeve.

I responded a while back but never heard back.
I need a Turkey pan, Fe Aluminum Alternator bracket,
and water pump pulley.

Are these available, if so how much.

Thanks

David,
As many people are saying and thinking, thanks for a great experience. You made checking CC an adventure every day. Like I said in my previous email, this has been a male version of the Home Shopping Network.
A very Merry Christmas to you and yours,
Bob

Matt,

Thanks so much for the kind words. This Christmas will be a fine one. We have lots to be grateful for here at Kirkham Motorsports. We have great customers. Most importantly, we have great employees. I am very proud to call them my friends. There isn't a better bunch of guys anywhere.

David

A box of scratch and dent from Kirkham is a great Chritsmas present. I received my old-skool FE fuel log and door kick panel trim pieces, but the COOL parts are these clear pent roof valve covers. Not only can I now show my kids how the valvetrain works, but I can see how much oil is sitting up in the valve covers and adjust the restrictors accordingly. It's the little things...........

Thanks David.

David,
I'd personally like to thank you, your family and staff for your tireless effort to put up with us (especially me!) and our endless questions and wanting of all things Kirkham.

Thank you for the posting of your son's recital, that was absolutely awesome! A big Kudo's to him!

I'm looking forward to my delivery of goodies and working on my toy. I hope the KTC (Kirkham Training Center) is a huge success for everyone that gets to use it. I await following it's thread and updates along the way. I'm also waiting to see what the next KMS project is going to be that you speak of.

A very Merry Christmas and as we say in South Texas, "Feliz Navidad" to everyone!

Please don't ship a body to me. It would be VERY cold and uncomfortable sleeping in it here in PA.
I am already thinking of explantaions for all my "fine art" that will be arriving some day.

We still have:

Brake cans and brackets
Alternator brackets
Fuel Feeds
Steering columns
Brake pedal assemblies
427 Roll bars.

I'll still sell these until we get finished packing things up. We will probably finish today.

David

Merry Christmas to David Kirkham and all at Kirkham Motorsports, and to all my Cobra friends here at Club Cobra and elsewhere!

David, have you kept a log of how many parts you were able to sell during this period? Just curious...!

David,

I'll add my voice to the ones above and say a sincere thank you for the opportunity to bid on some great parts and some really cool 'Garage Art' It was fun to be part of an epic 'sale' ... never quite knowing what would come up next!

Sent you an email to the Kirkham gmail account and will call tomorrow to arrange payment and shipping for round two. There is a rather large box here already from round one

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you, your family and all the fine folks at Kirkham Motorsports.

Thanks!

- Tim
