The boxes/crates, the aluminum fuel tank, the Billboards, the IRS, the seamless gelcoat body... the quality is a surprise only to those unfamiliar with Steve, Mike, Dusty, and the Hurricane Family. Those looking to shop can stop by Scranton Manufacturing Corporation, Inc. to see the full scope of tooling available to Hurricane's production facility.

Though you went with IRS, I am still pretty stoked with how bullet proof my modified Detroit Locker equipped Ford 9" is. I am running 3.46 gears

You will be plenty happy with your Craft Racing 408w. When Bob comes down, he can fill you in on how this powerplant works for me (I don't believe he is still using his neck brace). Did you go with steel flywheel or something lighter from Keith?

Welcome and enjoy the combined braintrust.

PS - Speaking of Hurricane Reunions, we are beginning chatter about the Texas Cobra Meet coming in San Marcos, March 2012.

John -- We met last TCC at Harris Hill. You were with Ken Walker at the time.

Appreciate the comments on the garage. It's a 3 car with the Hurricane on one side, mama's car in the middle and my tools/workbench on the other side.

Yes, I went with a RAM steel flywheel. Plus RAM clutch and Quicktime bellhousing (RM-6060 without the bottom flange). Nothing too radical. Got a Forte clutch slave bracket also (different than what he shows on his website) that fits/operates great.

BTW, Bobby must have recovered. He wasn't wearing the neckbrace. We had a great time and also a great time with Steve on the Riverwalk.

Looking forward to the next TCC. Might even have Steve convinced to come down this year.
