So you say, too, Bill...but, then, you, too, are a Hurricane owner and have the access under discussion.

The OP wanted information regarding available kits.

I have never said anything negative about the Hurricane product; quite the opposite, I've been a fan of their product since its inception and I promote it every chance I get.

Surely, though, you must be able to recognize the impression that the secretive nature of "The Dark Side" of the forum must promote...

I mean, really, guys, are we adults or are we adolescents, who are so proud of their membership in an exclusive "club" that we can't see the forest for the trees?

I'm just sayin'......if the OP wanted to research the Hurricane product, Hurricane might well be cutting off their nose to spite their face with their continued secrecy regarding the build process. It is certainly not the industry norm, and if I were a potential buyer who was just starting the search, I'd have sincere reservations despite your well-meant protestations to the contrary.

[EDIT--to KrackShotKarl, I see from your member info that you are a Texan. You are lucky, there are quite a few Hurricanes in Texas and the Texas Cobra Club is quite active, hosting an annual get-together near San Marcos every year. If you want to see Hurricanes in person, go to that event when you get the chance, you'll probably get to see a few. I've seen Greg Herdlichka's Hurricane, it was quite impressive even though it wasn't fully completed. The Hurricanes have an incredibly well engineered chassis with cross-bracing in the front end, and perhaps the biggest draw for me was (at the time I was researching Hurricane) that the Hurricane build process allows for (after a couple of fairly minor processes related to mounting the windshield and the trunk mechanism) the body to be sent to the paint shop while the chassis is being completed. That could represent a huge savings in time for a build. Another thing I like about the Hurricane is that their IRS setup (an option at the time I was researching Hurricane, not sure now) uses a FORD center section, not a Jaguar item...that could, IMHO, mean considerable savings if service were ever necessary. They really ARE a fine product...so, when you return to this country, spend some time in central TX visiting a few Hurricane owners, take time to go to the San Marcos event, get whatever information you might feel is necessary. Cheers, Dugly ]

Cheers, Dugly
