having lived in england for 5yrs, i had the luck to see one of these babies up close and personal. all i could say was wow, even though the owner was a snob and quite rude.

just out of curiosity to all that have experiance with kirk at VS, do you think kirk could do something similar? i.e like the front bumpers, door sills or similar interior? like i said, when i saw the car it was just mind blowing. i know it's not true to the original,which i would like, but it just worked if you know what i mean.

Hey Bub...
One thing I've come away with about the primary replica builders over the past couple of years is this; Kirk builds lots of cars and doesn't want to break stride. He builds them quick and dirty and his primary market is other resellers. Sounds a bit brutal, but that's my sense of things.

You want features and custom applications you start with John Steele at JPS and he'll give you an ear and his eye to detail that will make you happy.

From there the creme de la creme is Henry north of the border. Again, he'll implement your desires as he feels custom is what he does.

The other guys, again in my opinion, are too new to rate as it relates to compromising their production capabilities...maybe because they ARE newer, you can get closer to what you want...I just think you are less likely to get satisfaction at Vintage in this area of replicar-dom.
Hey Rick, thought you were pissed at me over the finger wave crack...oops, I did it again! I haven't heard from you in a while...How's the boat? Did you get the pic of the, oh shit, here I go again, woody,(47 Chevy you pervs) I sent you?
My assessment of builders has to exclude Chesil as I know absolutely nothin' 'bout them! The one dude in GB that has one, (Nigel?) has a real nice outlaw and I don't know how much of that was his doings...
