Take time to browse around and get familiar.
Very similar to the previous forum but
there are some subtle differences

Dan, I think they are being made the same way. I saw the pictures of the new headers before they were fully welded and they looked ok. They use a 3/8's flange and pretty much weld them up. What problems have you experienced? As far as oval ports, I would think it would be as simple as using a different flange.

There is no reason for concern with the shear points. It is gusseted and the material is very thick.

The new pipes are no longer slipfit. That was a pleasant change and they do have new sidepipes in stock. I had mine built with a 3 inch ID.

I have seen this thing up close and it is amazing. I don't think there is anyway that the masters could hit the ground even on a really big bump. We have talk alot about support bars here and there but at some point you just have to start building. I can't wait to see more pictures.

I am thinking about it. If we show enough interest, they will make it. It will probably cost $600 to get done start to finish. How many people would be interested?

I had one in HMS1002 and one is going into HMS2002. The BB footbox is different. They fit very naturally but if you went with a small block foot box you will struggle to switch to a BB.

Build Pictures / HMS 2002
February 21, 2010, 03:31:26 PM
Well after a brief run with a Kirkham and a trip through 2 GT40's I'm finally back home! HMS2002 is under way and I am very excited to be back in a Hurricane. Steve and I have given this car the code name "Category 5". This car will want for nothing. It is an IRS chassis with Willwoods all around, 6 piston calipers with drilled rotors. It will have the new floor mount pedals. It is going to be gloss black with flat black stripes (in vinyl) sitting on 15in knock offs with Goodyear billboards. The engine is an all aluminum Pond 482 FE sideoiler with Weber's mated to a Richmond road race 5 speed.

We better get moving, I have already paid the entry fee for a track day on April 10th!

Steve, get that body to paint!! ;)

It's pretty easy to get an autograph before you put the vinyl on the dash. He has a charity that you can make a $250 donation to and he will sign car parts. Just send the vinyl before it is on the dash with a box made from masking tape marking where you would like it signed.
