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,
Met Mike and Steve at the Texas Cobra Club meet in San Marcos Texas this weekend. Got to spend a couple minutes with them out at the airport when the group was getting a picture of their cars. Rest of the time was racing and cruising and I had to come home tonight for a commitment tomorrow. Think they enjoyed themselves and they met a bunch of Hurricane owners...

Here is a shot of the car at the body shop before the clear. You can see in this shot that the side pipe holes are not cut.

With some of the changes they made and your car actually going to be done prior to their factory car they probably decided to wait until they mount the body and and make sure they are correct the first time. Kirkham's come uncut and I have to say all the SPFs Ive done I had to make some minor changes usually to the back side of the hole.

I see two improvements on the body. One is the recess around the headlight openings so the bezels sit more flush with the fender. The other is the more accurate hood opening without the molded in pods for the hood rests. Very nice!
But Dean, why no sidepipe cutouts? I know you're not going with under car exhaust.

The engine is further along now but here is where it started. These pond blocks are truly a work of art!
