Het Scott,
I am in Columbus, Ga. so I am not too far away either.  I just finished mine and you are welcome to give me a holler and we can meet up at your convenience.

Matt,
I am in Columbus, Ga. so I am not too far away depending on what part of Alabama.  I just finished mine and you are welcome to give me a holler and we can meet up at your convenience.

I am 6'3" 220 and have no problems.  And mine does not have the wheel well modes to allow the seat to go farther back.  Don't get me wrong...it is snug but far from uncomfortable.  It is not any tighter than my 72 vette was.  I am in Georgia if your close by.

I converted my horn button that installs on the dash to my starter button.  But, after I realized our steering wheel boss is not configured for a horn button in the center of the steering wheel I changed it back.  I didn't want to put another hole in the dash at that time for a starter button and my horn button.  Just food for thought when making that decision.  

Oh yea, the starter switch does have a acc post.

I am in Columbus.  You are welome to stop by and check mine out.  It goes to paint next week for a month so before or after is fine with me.  It has a tag so we can go for a spin.

Albany is only an hour or so away.

I have the standard brake option with a 351W and they work plenty well.  Much better than I expected.

They mount to the frame.  Specifically, they mount to the 2x2 steel support tubes that run up from the frame where the door jamb is.  These tubes are part of the support structure that runs under the cowl and front end that the body rests on.  Extremely solid support structure.  

Hope this helps,
Michael

There is no comparison!  I can't wait for that first drive.  I'm lible to end up half way across the country before I stop if it's half as good as I think it will be.  

I definitely agree will all the points above.  
But what impressed me was the quality of the parts provided with the kit.  A lot of brand name stuff like Lokar, Wildwood, Autometer, Motolita, etc. and the completeness of the kit.  I was amazed to see that literally everything was there.....down to the shrink tubing for the electrical connections, hose clamps, cotter pins, washers, etc..  I have assembled all of my front and rear suspension and have not made a single trip to the store.  Time is valuable.  
Every time I talked to another manufacturer that made the same claim about just needing wheels and drivetrain it never panned out when I started asking about the specific parts that WERE included with the Hurricane kit like the radiator, pedal assembly, etc..

Hey Steve,
I used the Vintage Wheels on mine.  I went with the standard size which I think is 15x8.5 rear and 15x7 front.  Tires are 295/50 rear and 235/60 front.  There is actually room for more on the outsides.  I think the backspacing was 4.5 front and back.  The guy at Vintage is great...he knows Hurricanes and I just used his recommendations.

Definitely Ryan!  Maybe we can meet at the cruise in at Newnan one weekend.

Bobby,
The black is a PPG base black that is a true black with no other colors mixed in.  As black as black can be.  I can get the number if you need.  The stripes are 99 Lambo silver.  The color used on Superformance cars.  The stripes are the perfect color.  THey have about 8 different colors mixed in to get the final product.  He actually used a high dollar single stage black rather than a standard black base coat as the base coat.  Put about 6 coats of it on.  He said it would give it more depth than using standard base coat and I must agree cause I can stand 4 feet away and my shoes reflect like a mirror off the side.  I will post the finished pics this coming weekend after the final buffing and cleanup this week.

Michael

It is!  Never thought that there would be so much to do after bringing it home though! :-?  I am really happy with everything though.  I can't believe I am almost done!

The last one for now.  Interior was finished yesterday.  Finish wiring today.  FInal buffing this week.

HOME FINALLY!
