Does anyone have a Hurricane in any stage that i could come and take a look at.  I am in the Valencia area of Southern California and would love to see one before i make the plunge.

Thanks,

Bill Cole

I think i'll use Miller.  I'm thinking a blue with white stripes for now.

The roll bar finally went on with some sanding of the outside and inside of the tubes and a bit of grease.  Unfortunately i will have to have it re-powder coated due to a misguided attempt at putting it on a few weeks ago.  One of a couple of things i have screwed up along the way.  But all in all, it has been relatively minor stuff.

Lots of heat and road debris coming in from the sides, so i buttoned it up and it is alot better.  Had to hit the easy button a few times installing these.

Need this to see if "the man" is beside me.  Mirror placements subject to change still.

I was getting a lot of heat up through the tunnel, so i figure it was time to actually put the plate and the boot on.

Here is one of the trunk prop on.  I may go with a gas strut back here, but for now, this works pretty good.

Matt,

I had an unfair disadvantage.  My good friend whom you met when we checked your car out has been with me every step of the way.  He's very good at this stuff and has been invaluable.  We also have had 3 or 4 full days with another friend, so some days we had 3 guys working on it.  Still a long way to go from here.  I'll see what i can do this weekend regarding the pics of the pushers.  We just used machine screws to mount it currently.  Not completely sure if we will leave it that way permanently.

Bill

It really was amazing.  I now have an actual car.  It was way different then the go Kart.  Faster, more real. I've actually got 50 miles on it now.
