Jim, the car is absolutely beautiful!!!
You are a true craftsman and great builder.
Thanks for all your help, contribution to this forum and letting me shamelessly copy many of your ideas.
See you in Reno!

 You're too kind. Did my attorney contact you regarding the patent infringement? A cold beer in Reno could make this whole patent thing go away.  ;D . It's supposed to be in the 90's there this week-end. It might take more than 1 to keep  8-). Do you have my cell number?

It looks outstanding. Great job Jim.  

Ditto on all the help you provide. You made it much easier for me to finish my kit.

Keep the pics coming.

Jim, looks real nice.
You said you molded in the rear tail lights?  Any Pics?

Again super nice job on your Car.

Thanks Randy. Perhaps "moulded" is the wrong term. I ground the sharp edge off the top and sides of the taillight pad so it "flowed" more evenly to the light. I had to build up behind the area a little but not that much. Somebody else here did this before me, so whoever it was, thanks for the idea. It definately looks better. It was alot easier than straightening out the front scoop.

The car looks great I would not expect any less from you  
you should group together all the mods you have done and I could figure out how many I used on my build and
I know if I had a question about something you are almost always the first to respond
again it looks awsome

Thanks Bobby. Your comment reminds me of what my wife always says "You're either in the shop or you're on that darn computer".
Maybe because I prefer working on or talking about Cobras. I'm dead if she ever reads that. ;D

Jim,

All I can say is AWSOME!

I can't wait to be at that point. Realisticly it will probably be next spring.

Is it as fun to drive as it is to build?

The pics dont do the car justice.
After seeing Jim's near finished car and all the Cobras in Reno I could see it getting contagious.

jwd

Thanks Steve (even though you may be slightly predjudice). I think we should start one for you as soon as mine is done.

Jim, your Hurricane is without question "one of the very best builds completed so far".   ;)

It makes me proud to be a Hurricane owner when I see cars as yours that represent home builders in such a fine way.  I as you, want to see Hurricane move forward to become an elite Cobra replica that I think it is and can be, Good Job Jim.   ;D

Be happy, Bill :)
The trouble with people is not that they don't know , but that they know so much that ain't so.

jwd

Thanks Bill. Here's some pics. of my recent progress doing the carpeting.
