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.

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.

The holes are cut for the fresh air kit. This is a really nice system created by Paul Proefrock. He has been a huge help on this car with his advice regarding changes to the car.
This system uses the 3 inch brake duct hose you can order from most race parts stores.
This is from Paul's car but you get the point.

My .02 worth - the aluminum fender liners - I know you like the raw aluminum look, however, a few trips on the road and you will find it's a lot more work to keep that look. I used an undercoating and find it's a lot easier to wash that down than polish aluminum.
Fresh air for the footboxes - soooo if the intake is right by the radiator - want it be hot at stoplights from the heat off the radiator?
Brakes - how would you like the potential for 1,200 lbs pressure at the calipers with 30 lbs pedal pressure? Drive my car next time I see you, maybe I'll ride over to your place after you pickup the car, which is.......when?
Love the attention to detail and the color will look great with those polished pipes. Looking great Deano!

Tim, I will be running pretty high CFM electric fans on the engine side of the radiator. That should keep the air through the vent at ambient temperature because the fans will be pulling air through the radiator. I know what you mean about the inner fenders but it is pretty easy to take the wheels off and give it a quick wipe down. I decided not to go with the power assisted brakes as we discussed on the phone because of the location of the master cylinders. It would just be to close to the headers.
I'll give you a call when I get it home and you can cruise over. I might go this weekend if I can get a pass from the family. If I can't, I would have to wait until next weekend.

Dean, what about catching the vent air through oval shaped holes in the body, under the headlights - or are those for brake cooling?
