I also did some research Before chosing hurricane. To be honest I knew very little about cars in general but have built 4 bikes so I thought how tuff can it be. I live in N.Y so I am not too far from factory five and that was my first stop, nice shop nice car but they really sell toward the donner route which I was not interested in. looked in to era(very,very nice but also expensive)and shell valley which a friend of mine has an older one.
I called Mike from hurricane and he must have spent an hour on the phone answering my mundane questions but never missed a beat and never once put a sales pitch on me. He gave me the name of some people within 100 miles of me and i went and looked at the cars(not that I really knew what I was looking at)but everyone i spoke to was very happy with there experience with them
I ordered the car in dec. 06 got it in mar 07 and could not be happier with the completeness of the kit if something is missing ron or jason were easy to get on the phone and sent it out with out debate

The only thing I would change is the por 15 finish, powder coating I feel is so much nicer but since they pre-assembled the suspenion i had them do it instead of tear it down again
I just went to carlile pa kit show and saw 10 different kits side by side and still feel for the money hurricane is the best bang for the buck
On a seperate note you mentioned wheels I also looked at the american racing wheels but if you get custom offsets they are only about $2-300 less then a true pin drive from vintage wheels and they are real knock offs
