Anybody want to venture a guess as to what their kit will cost? Maybe a better question is what SHOULD it cost to compete in this market.
I like the look of this car so far and can't wait to see the completed product.

I was told the target price for the kit is around $18,500 and that is what was mentioned in the earlier linked video as well. If it's like the prior Hurricane offering, that would include everything you need except engine, trans, driveshaft, tires, battery and paint.

Well if that's the case then they would sure be on my short list. Thanks for the info! How'd I miss that on the video...LOL

I'm really pulling for Hurricane. This is a spot in the market where more competition is needed and it will have the effect of "raising the bar," which is always a good thing. I can't seem to find the post that has the link with the Hurricane video. Could someone kindly repost that for me?

Was an option under the Arps & Burroughs ownership (I have it) and I'm certain will continue to be offered.

Plus, they feature mounts for dual rollbars. Now how can YOU not like THAT?

You should probably drive a Hurricane if you are going to sell for them!
Seriously, you should give them a call. They might be interested.
I talked to the new owner and the IRS is definately available and might become the standard option. I had it in mine (the 98 car) and it was a better set up than I had on the Kirkham.

The molds in use by the new Hurricane in Iowa were originally created by Jerry Connolly, founder of Component Craft, located in Bedford Texas in the early 90's. I have personally spoken at length with Jerry about the process he used to create the molds. Based on feedback from Jerry and withstanding some additional research, we are hopeful to comment on which CSX car was used as the donor the coming weeks.

Hmmm . . . . sounds like you've made some progress on HM lineage . . .
Please share the news.
