What email are you using?
What number did you call?

I've always found the Kirkham clan very responsive to my various correspondence

Have you tried kirkhammotorsports AT gmail DOT com?

David is not very active on this site anymore. It seems he prefers Facebook these days.

The last time I corresponded with David was late November 2017 at the email address above. He's always been responsive to my emails.

I too, have had trouble reaching them, which is so very unlike my many dealings with David in the past. Something's clearly not right, but I dunno what it is. He didn't even answer his cell phone. Tom, who is no longer involved in the company has been very helpful and responsive to my questions. steve

Agreed. Very active presence on Facebook. Two days ago was the most recent.

Hello all, I would like to update everyone a little bit on the going ons here at Kirkhams. We are incredibly busy making parts and finishing cars to get them out the door. Everything is going well, my dad is doing just fine as well. As for those struggling to get in touch with my dad, he's rather busy now with several projects on his mind, and with our 1000th car in production! Which will be a momentous occasion. This hiccup in replies to emails should clear up fairly soon. I hope everyone is enjoying the warm weather we have been having. Just remember to keep the shiny side up

I just saw David post on Facebook that they are moving into a new building. I suppose that moving can keep them even more busy while building all the cars.

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
