Default On the Way

I got the call this week. Car should be here next week. This will be my fourth kit car and I am almost 20 years older than when I got my first, a Butler. I am pumped up! Never been soo excited for a car. I feel like the days of bringing my kids & wife home from their birt. I am cleaning the shop- preparing the nest so to say. Like bringing home the kids I am not ready-so what it will be here soon.

Thumbs up Latest thing!

Congratulations, big-boss! Good choice.

Hey, have you heard of the latest thing to do to your Kirkham, is to get rid of that pesky aluminum body and replace it with a nice sleek shinny durable fiberglass one?

I happen to know where you can get a nice black one for free & I'll haul of that old alum one for you.

Your friend
jdog
P.S. I'll paint it any color you want!

KMP-498 is home and well, what beauty.

JAMO- How do you get "self inflicted sexy boy" stains off filed aluminum?
