Tom,
Does the combo car cost more than the SC or is it priced like the FIA car?

John,
The pricing is the same as for the FIA car. I should have pics Monday of our progress. The exhaust is finished, the roll bar is finished, and the fuel tank is almost done...Should have the car finished by next week. I will try and post some pics on Monday.

Wow! Just gorgeous!
I wanted to respond sooner but I was drooling so badly I shorted out my keyboard and crashed my computer.

and the other side
Note the V-band clamps. No leaks and much easier to use.

The dash layout I finally decided on. It is a mixture of USRRC, LeMans, and 427 street.
The switches are old military aircraft circuit breakers.

The cross bar on the roll bar is where the seat belt shoulder straps will be attached.

Jamo, not sure yet. But I am leaning towards it.
I went with the full width roll bar due to more and more tracks not letting passengers out on track with out a roll over their head. The full width bar was also used on several original cars...

Note: the under car exhaust with the exit in front of the tires, and the LeMans side vents.

Loved the big vents since the first time I saw them...
The Cobra I saw at Sears Point a few years back had them, the trailing spats behind the lower front fenders, and the drop down rear trunk lid for the top fitment. Still one of my favorites.

What I do not like about Kirkhams is they make my Cobra appear to be junk!
In all honesty both the company, it's employees and products set the bar for quality. Their cars, especially polished, are the most beautiful mechanical creation I have ever seen. As a mechanical engineer, I marvel at thier work. I also really appreciate all of the great info and pictures they post on this site.

Looks excellent Tom!
I think you should make some aluminum front brake cooling ducts for it like the early cars used (virtually identical to the glass ones you make).
Once you get them figured out, I will buy a set
