Hey, I think I see a replica gas pedal up there too.

Larry, I thought I had a picture of that to share with you but I can't find it. It is a very good copy of the original pedal. The cars are also coming with a solid linkage system too!

Wow, can't wait to see the linkage!
Have they worked out a rear anti-sway bar for IRS?

Just out of curiosity how many people are building this car because you are moving along faster than I've ever seen anybody build. You have to be putting in at least 8-10 hours a day if not more. I can't believe how quickly this is going.

I was wondering the same thing. Also, not sure laying any cover/tarp over fresh automotive paint is ever a good idea. So I will guess the above pics were more so for effect and your painters are smarter than that.

This car is in Iowa at the Hurricane shop. Jason works on the car most of the time buy himself. I speak with Jason in the mornings and in the afternoon after I see the pictures from the days assembly. I have also spent a couple weekends in the shop with him. With basically what is a new car, I wanted to show the whole process, not just the finishing of the kit at my house. Some times the guys on the forum can be pretty critical and I want to show all the steps for everyone to see. If it passes the test here then it should be good to go!
A lot of time was taken getting ready to build so the build would go smoothly. I think the kit would go together in anyones shop pretty smoothly but it helps when you have a guy working on the project everyday! I am going to get the car next week and finish the assembly here in Illinois.
Dean, your right, I was just being dramatic. Here is a shot of the paint.

These are the pictures that I love to see. I saw the factory car when I was in Iowa 2 weeks ago and it looks awesome. The paint work was just fantastic. The body will be mounted to the chassis early next week. This is what it looks like today.

Hurricane for the Street?
Whoa, is that black car a Hurricane street roadster? No side pipes, awesome.
One thing I've noticed is that the Hurricane has a correct street roadster stance, just awesome.

If you can attack a new paint job with sandpaper and a buffer less than 24 hours after it's shot, putting a loose cover on it to keep it clean and protected in the shop won't hurt anything.

I must be old schooling again and thinking about acrylic lacquer. LOL
Even with the new water borne paints by GM, they recommend no covers on their cars for 2-3 months (as per their owners manuals). Hmmm.....
You can rub on the top layer(s) all day long, but the underlying base is still soft and seams on certain covers can leave indentations. Please don't ask me why I know this...
Black looks deep!

I believe the thinking is that the paint's chemicals are being released into the air and a car cover may/will block or inhibit their release into the air as the paint cures. But what do I know. |

We don't have to fight this battle here. The cover was on just for the drama. The body is in the assembly shop. The amount of dust is very limited. I have always thought that new paint needed to cure out for a couple of months but I'm sure the car will get a professional buff out before it goes anywhere. That is also an excellent cover. It is always a choice between dust on the new paint or potential damage from the cover. If someone touches a dusty car, well you all know the result.

Lookin good Dean.
Why didn't they cut out for the sidepipes before painting? Or am I just not seeing them.
Keep the pics coming.

Street roadster???
That is why I asked if the one pictured above was going to be a Street Roadster. With no sidepipes?

Well, I don't know what to say about that. I would have thought they would have cut the holes before the paint also. We have been pushing so hard for the this car to be finished, maybe it was an oversight. I will give them a call tomorrow at the shop. I believe they are working on it this weekend. What ever the outcome, I'm sure it will be right when I pick it up this week. I will say the when I did a BDR last winter for a guy I had to use my grinder with a paddle wheel to reshape the opening for the side pipes and you couldn't tell I had done the work.

Dean, if that's your garage with the motor sitting in it, you must be a sick man, its way too clean.... The motor sure looks great as does the whole chassis. It always seems on builds like this, the body should be clear lexan so we can all continue to admire the craftsmanship put into the build.

Nice mountain bike in the corner, every cobra needs a couple of them hanging around to keep the snake calm.
Harrr!

Sidepipes
Had a great time at the Texas Cobra Club meeting in San Marcos this weekend. Hurricane was very well represented with 9 cars and we rode with a few of the owners. Thanks guys. It was a very well run meeting and I understand the track day went very well also. Thanks to all involved for organizing the event and showing us a good time.
The sidepipe cutouts have not been made in HM-2002 yet. With all the changes and improvements to the car, including lowering the side skirts slightly, we want to make sure the cutout is positioned correctly. We will put the body on soon and get the relevant measurements to locate the cutouts and use this reference to make a template for future cars.

Cut outs
Great strategy, makes perfect sense now.

The body will be going on soon. They have added the aluminum fender liners and have been working on the wiring. I decided to put the master disconnect behind the shifter. I think it will work fine there. I thought I had a picture of that but I can't find it tonight.
