Does that duty fall under Steve's job description?

It might not need wheelie bars if Steve's driving.

Jeff,
Thanks! Windshield, lights, turn signals, and fenders will be optional. It was shown in a "track day" configuration. As for the track day, wings will be optional as well.

Any updates? I don't see anything on your website. Do you have a price nailed down yet?

Somehow my last post ended up in cyberspace...???
Anyway,
We just purchased a new CNC tube bender to make the RUSH with (and our headers and sidepipes--along with other things). It will arrive this week or next week. I am SO excited! This is a moment I have been waiting for--for a long time.
We should get better numbers soon on the RUSH and dates for delivery. It is a RIOT to drive.

Hi Dave,
It has been awhile now since SEMA and I was curious to find out if you guys have nailed down a solid price for the Rush. I keep checking your web site in hopes to find it listed. I'm still checking out all the other Exo skeletals that
are on the market. I have notice there are several new offerings. Mostly English.

Sorry guys,
You can disregard my post. I'll take the silence as a no.

Hersh,
What can I say! I am a bum for not looking here sooner. That and my inbox is full here so I guess I need to do some cleaning up.
We just got the tube bender back up and running. It will be a bit. We lost our machinist to MIT (graduate studies) and so it has been a scramble around here. We have LOTS of interest and we are moving as fast as we can to get this baby on the road. I will post more pictures and progress as we get further down the road.

Thanks David !
I'm glad to hear you're still hard at work. Then again that's the way it is around the Kirkham factory. I have always admired the Kirkham's and the empoyee's work ethic. I'm sure the MIT graduate will return and that ain't bad.
Education is the secret to success.
I'll keep checking the web site for tidbits. 
Hersh

Do you have to disassemble the inner panels in the engine compartment to remove the headers?
How aboutn theside pipes?
I may make some changes this winter . .

Hello:
Great looking Car and hopefully priced better than the atom.
If eventually you could offer some good F1 inspired Functional Aerodynamic Add ons, I bet the car would be even a bigger "Rush".
Very light + Lots of power =Fun
Very light + Lots of Power + Great Down force Body Modifications + Ultimate fun!!!
No sense wasting the true potential of your base engineering to not take full advantage of the known Aerodynamic Tricks of the Trade. Especially sense you are NOT encumbered with any Body Modification restrictions.
I'd love to be able to experience a 2-3g Turn. I might not remember much. but it would be a hell of a , "Rush".
Good luck guys, and please put me on your mailing list.
Best Regards,
Ty

We are trying to make the Rush for less money than the Atom, but at the moment we are so busy with the billet chassis car
Million Dollar Skunksworks Kirkham
that we can't even think straight for a couple of more months. After we deliver that car, we will get back on the Rush. We are having a LOT of interest in that car lately for some reason.
The car is set up to take advantage of aerodynamics--both front and rear. We are tinkering right now with a 4 cylinder engine to get the weight down.
