Sam and George, you make it up to the Kit Car show and you'll get inspired to work 24/7.  Hope you both have time to do some work this summer, yard work over here in the tropics never stops but luckily, since I left Ohio, I haven't had to shovel snow. not one of the things I miss about home.  Hope to see some update photos from both of you soon.

Hi Ken,
It is looking good. Keep up the good work. My body is in the paint booth and will be painted this friday. The trunk lid and hood are done and striped. I found some heat shields for the side pipes made of stainless with a cobra snake lasered into them. They are so polished they look like chrome.

Mike, where did you find the shields? If you don't mind me asking, thanks,

Hi George,
I was just crusing Club Cobra and saw an ad up on the masthead, right side for heat shields with cobras on them, not sure if they are the same ones....just watch the masthead as the ads scroll through.

Well guys, after a bit of a hiatus, I'm back from being "exmemeber" along with gmoose...Ken aka Fuzzy isn't a very pretty name but I can now get my daily fix of Hurricane.  Thanks to Steve S. for trying to sort us out and getting us back on line and to Paul P for all the words of "encouragement".

Got a bit of time to work on 1081 this past week.  Plumbed the brakes to the master cylinders, pedal assembly in, throttle cable and pedal attached, new under the header plug wires on, new hard cable from carb to gas lines and started on the fender liners...looks odd ?  Right hand drive Hurricane so its all opposite.

Lookin good Ken, it won't be long before you put some "fire in that beast".     Your getting close, and before you know it's...battery and gas time.
Great job, Bill

HI Ken;
Are you concerned about how close the brake lines are to your headers?
Headers get muy caliente!

Thanks guys,
I've been thinking about the spacing, the photo is  an odd angle, the closest anything is to any part of the brake system is 2  3/4" but an considering a shield and some of the heat blocking tubing. 
still got thinking time, of course if I ran it without the body it would stay cooler

[Fuzzy]

Evan, I can loan ya a bigger hammer to whack 'em all back in the right space but not sure if that will work with the distributor...

Been dashing around the past two weeks, found some bits missing so time to improvise.  Also decided to make two turn signal lights instead of one so need to drill another hole.  Have also added a Dakota digital gear indicator as its a tad hard to see the markings on the shifter without my bi-focals... :-/

Still need to do the glove box cutout.
