Default Kirkham Skunk Works

What do you guys think will be unveiled at this weekend's Kirkham Summit? David and Thomas have been annoyingly quiet over the last few weeks. The anticipation and the lack of clues are killing me.

It will be beautiful whatever it is. My guess is a Daytona Coupe.

No, the Daytona is old news...this is NEW news. (Although we will start accepting deposits on Saturday for the Kirkham Coupe).

Saltytri is close.

It is coming together and it has been an enormous undertaking to get it together. Let's just say...what would you do if you free reign to some up with the best thing you could possibly make...

David


ps. Joe let a few pics slip...

Jessica Alba, or a Jim Hall Chaparral?

OK, time to spill the beans: A completely billet titanium King Cobra, driven by Jessica Alba.

Pant, pant!

If you could build a car and had "a million dollars" to do it, what would you make?

David

David,
I'd like to see a Kirkham GT40 Mark II. Aluminium skinned, chassis and suspension. Yes, others already make them but no one can improve them like KMS. If so, I'll pick mine up at next winter "Summit". Robert Ihrig

PS - Sorry, I will not be at the "Summit" tomorrow. I'll be there next year.

What resolution would you like those photos? SAR, EO, IR, or wet film? I have them all, David doesn't know yet.

A billet Silver Shadow that uses the Bugatti Veyron as a donor platform. A budget version for poor folk that uses a Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano as a donor platform should follow around mid year.

If we get one more person (specifically, a Kirkham Brother) to agree to the "GT40" they can start tooling up and I can take delivery of KMSGT40-001 next February at the Summit.
David or Thomas are you listening. Robert
