Thanks for the compliments guys. I appreciate it.

How about getting a few more builds posted? Not only is it great to follow everyones progress, but its also a way to share ideas. Someone may see something that would help them in thier build. You know what they say, a pictures worth a thousand words. Plus its a great way for any potential Hurricane customers to see how the kits go together.

Where did you get your motor and trans, how much was it and how much power you think you will be putting out?

Thanks,

Hey Dan,
I got my engine from a local engine builder in the Charlotte, NC area. They do a lot of race engines for various Nascar series teams.  I asked them for a torque monster and boy did I get one. It made 496 HP and 565 Ft lbs on thier dyno! It has a forged crank, H-beam rods and forged pistons along with a custom ground roller cam and roller rockers. The heads are Dart Pro 1's that have had some tweeking done by the engine shop. I added the valve covers, turkey pan, expansion tank etc myself to dress it up. I got the transmission from D&D Performance. It was the best deal around at the time. The rest of the clutch setup was bought from various sources. I can send you an email with more specifics if you would like.

Mike the car looks great! Very nice attention to detail. I can't wait to place my order and I'm still a few months away from that. So for now I'll just oogle  .

Nice work you do....

Looks good Mike!
I have a piece of the foam seal missing on the rear bulkhead in exactly the same place you do! How funny!

Mike,
Did you have any problems getting your measurements for your drive shaft?
I have been reluctant to send mine to Denny's, I don't feel really comfortable with
them.
They are great pictures a really neat looking build.
Thanks Zeb

Hey Zeb,
I had no problems with the measurements. I used their form and wrote it all down. I then called them and they went over everything with me to make sure I did it all correctly. All the measurements are pretty easy to get and are explained well on the form. It really is a nice looking driveshaft. A lot better quality than some I've gotten from a local drive shaft shop. I like the fact that its speed balanced at 6000 rpm or what ever your max rpm would be. Very few shops do this. And it was only $45 more than getting one locally. Heres a pic.

Heres a few more. Go-kart pretty much completed. I took it for a drive that day. Man was that fun!!!

I took a video but somethings wrong. I can watch on the camera, hook the camera to the TV and watch it on TV but can't transfer it from the camera to the computer. Other pics/video's etc. transfer to the computer so I'm at a loss. I guess I'll have to make another.
