Kirkham Motorsports Tour August 2016
This is a replica of the thread I originally posted on August 13th, but it got lost after the server failures and club cobra being restored from an earlier backup.
So let's see if I remember what I wrote back then (or maybe google's cached pages will help me remember)...

Kirkham Motorsports Tour August 2016
Back in 2011 I went to the Kirkham Open House and posted some pictures.
Here is a link to that thread:
Kirkham Motorsports Annual Open House 19 Feb 2011
Last week my girlfriend and I flew into Salt Lake City went on a bus tour of Yellowstone, Mount Rushmore, etc. along with my kids and my girlfriend's nephew who is visiting for a few weeks. So I thought why not contact David Kirkham and see if I could stop by in the morning before we fly back to Pennsylvania and see what was going on at Kirkham Motorsports now.
David was kind enough to give us a tour and we were able to get to the airport with plenty of time before our flight was supposed to leave. We had a Delta flight which was impacted by their system wide failure that morning that grounded all of their flights, so we were actually lucky that our flight was only delayed by 4.5 hours...
Anyway I thought I would post some pictures.
Here is David and some tourists who stopped by that morning.

New CNC machine. David said there are currently only 3 of these in the US now.
Parts that it was making.
And the parts below are on top of the fixture for making hood scoops.

Ken, just to reiterate my comment in the original thread, this is my KMP268. The former 2004 SEMA show car that is featured on the Kirkham home page and in some of their brochures was getting updated to 2016 spec. David and his team made an awesome number of changes for a reasonable fee and I am more than thrilled. Here is the finished thing ...
