That car has the Ford GTs' BBS wheels on it too, painted graphite.

Hey Ford's : Start building consistently desireable vehicles ! Then you don't need that much restructuring and dieting...

I don't think it was meant to be a good looking car. They used a Ford Five Hundred for Crying out loud. I think these kids did a remarkable job for what they had to work with.

Anybody see Kirkhams copper colored Ford rod with GT running gear at SEMA.
I think it is posted on their web site. It is stunning!

stunning is right. the body is 100 percent polished copper (need lots of brasso for upkeep :biggrin) and the interior is bubinga wood and leather. and all with a ford gt powertrain! kirkham does everything right!

Hey Bony, I saw it at Blackie G's AutoRama in your town of Fresno this past weekend. David Kirkham does some awsome work. That body is hand fabricated from copper sheets. He also had his bare aluminum bodied big block Corbra on display as well. Great show!

Yeah, Blackie does a very respectable job. I was stuck in a BOD meeting in Chicago and missed the show. When I go I try to hit it on Friday afternoon before the crowds jam in.
