I had a great day with the boy's at Kirkham earlier this past week.
They are very busy with moving to there new shop, and what a facility it is.
Everybody was hard at work moving cars, materials, equipment, tools etc.
I even jumped in and helped but I'm thinking I was probably more of a distraction than help
Even with David being so busy he still took time to show me around the new shop.
Big thanks to David of course and all the guys at Kirkhams for there help loading me up with goodies and getting me on my way.
Be patient I'm sure the move will be behind them soon and they will be back to doing what they do shortly.

Jeez, cobrakiwi.
Can't you give us something more juicy, nattering or downright accusatory than that? :roll eyes:
There was good amount of collective craftsmanship the day you visited, that's for sure.

Sorry I have been hard to get a hold of lately.

The move has been (and still is) an incredible undertaking. The shop we are in now is just over 40,000 square feet--that is right at 4 times the size of the shop we left.

Many people who know me have asked that one day I will write a book about my adventures. Perhaps I will.

We are making and delivering cars all the time. I am hoping that we can have a shop warming party sometime this fall when we get things all settled in. The new building used to be an old beer distribution place. The original building was built in 1947 and it is incredible. We are restoring it for our show room.

Also, we designed and made a billet air system...no kidding
