Allan at Unique is always happy to spend time explaining and answering questions. They have been in the biz for over 30 years. I am planning a trip to visit them and place my order in the next month or so. Good luck

Cal.cheeshead,
I second your comments about Unique, 110%. Alan, Maurice, Gene and the whole crew there are stand up people. They make the build a home town experience. I had a Unique. Got a nice trophy for it once too. Built it, drove it, and helped my friend on his Hurricane and drove that too. Both of us had Unique's at the time and he did a Hurricane afterwards just to see what they were like. I was around for that Hurricane build start to end as well. When this thread started, my first thoughts were..well, "if it does not work out for the Hurricane customers in that price range...just go buy a Unique and be done with it".

For those of you who want to wait for a Hurricane, maybe just give them until March or something and check back. I wouldn't answer the phone either if I was restructing a company and just told everyone that. Things sometimes take longer than expected. Maybe wait and see. If you guys can't wait 2 months for them, you'd never want to buy an ERA, it takes up to two years when they get backed up. Hang tight and see. You never know... might be worth the wait, and if not, you'll have your answer in a few months anyhow. Hopefully the Hurricane can make it and there will be good stuff around the corner for those who are patient.
