Default Kirkham project

Hey guys,

I thought I would share a little project that I've been working on with the Kirkham guys. I thought it came out great, and it was a real pleasure working with the guys in Provo.

To be honest the one negative about this project is that every time I look at these cars I get Kirkham envy, and have thoughts about selling the SPF

This is a case study on AMD hardware, SolidWorks software, and Kirkham's spectacular product line.

http://enterprise.amd.com/us-en/AMD-...Resources.aspx

The PDF file is too large to upload, if anyone has trouble with the link just let me know and I'll email it.

Enjoy,



Daryl

Thanks!

I think the Cobra is the prettiest shaped vehicle that was ever made.

Oh yes, my top 10 would include:

No particular order

Daytona Coupe
427 Cobra
289 FIA Cobra
Ferrari P3
GT40 Mk 1
GT40 Mk 4 (very close to the top)
Ferrari GTO
Bugatti Atlantic
Mercedes SSK
McLaren F1

Well, I just realized I needed more than 10.

Lew,

Shouldn't that be called a "Compensation Wagon?"

Damn, you're right, I forgot the P3/P4, possibly THE best looking car of all time (except the Cobra, of course).

It balances out the understated nature of the 427s!

Thanks Chuck!

John,

I ran out of top 10...I think I need a top 100 now. I just love cars.

Come to think of it, there is more than 1 Porsche I would put on the list.

David
