Rad, assuming yours is a serious question . . . um, no, I've never seen a cobra painted anything quite like that.

Yes it is a serious question.  I don't want my future cobra to be exactly like everyone else does.  So I was wondering if anyone had seen one like the toy.  You would think they got the idea from something.  :-/

The metal-flake in that paint is a little over-the-top, too!

Anyone seen a Cobra with stripes like the ones on this Hot Wheel.

I was wanting to find a FR500 style wheel with the correct Backspacing for the Hurricane car.

Thanks for the replies.  Either of these look like good solutions.  I feel better now.  

I just received a reply from Richard @ HMS to my email I sent him early this morning.  Guess I should be patient.  Although he did not completely say it could be done.

His reply: I believe that you can change the clutch fork and use our slave cylinder just fine. I know we have many T5 Transmissions in use out there that are hooked up to our slave cylinders. Most of them are World Class T5 transmissions and they might be sightly different from a standard T5.

I think this is probably a standard T5.  Any experts out there know for sure what is required to make it work?  Also is the Slave cylinder easier or harder to depress the cltuch than the cable method?  Right now with the Spec 1 clutch it is pretty firm so any improvement would be nice.

The Hurricane kit options call for a Clutch Slave Cylinder.

I was looking at the info Hurricane has on their suspension.

I am like Joe in the research stage and I have sent for information on a Hurrican Cobra but was wondering if there was any hurricanes closer to Tyler Texas (2 hours east of than Dallas).

I had recieved a couple from some FFR guys through their forum and was wondering if anyone had any costs sheets on their build that they do not mind sharing.

Here are some specs:

I'm planning to use a 302 with Windsor Jr. heads, mild cam and T-5 manual transmission.

Looks good.
