Body Work & Paint Cost?

[Dan]

All valid points.  When my car (HM1066) arrived painted, it was completely assembled, i.e. attached to the frame, panels were perfectly aligned, etc. I really hated having to pull it all apart to start the build because it looked so nice; but I did without causing any damage. I've since suspended it from the ceiling of the garage, and have scattered the loose panels around the house, under beds, in closets, etc. Any place I figured they'd go untouched. I marked the mounting spots on the frame in hopes of being able to put everything back with the same alignment so I would be left with fine tuning only. Rich's recommendation for four extra people is a good one. I may be whistling a different tune after I reinstall the body, but based on my experience thus far, having the car painted up front has been a positive for me.

Eric, if you do check with Hurricane regarding this service, would you please post your information in this thread?

As you probably know, we have been tweaking the interior space to get every inch we can: dishing the wheel wells for legroom (another customer suggestion), raising the steering wheel angle to get it off your lap, larger footbox for smallblock motors, double dropped footboxes, etc. Every inch we can get makes the car available to more and more folks as well as making it more comfortable to drive. This is an example of a simple and innovative modification with no real downside. We appreciate the suggestion Jim and future customers will thank you as well. I promise you a deal on your next Hurricane (everyone should build 2 I think!)

You mean have to stop at 2.   I retire next year and if I don't keep busy in the shop, my wife will find stuff for me to do and I don't think it will be as much fun as building Cobras.
