Referred to Hurricane by a friend

[aarvig]

I thought I would add my two cents as well. Yes, Hurricane does not heavily market like FFR and yes, they are built in rural Iowa. BUT, don't let that fool you into thinking it is not a great replica. I purchased one this last fall and am well on my way to putting the motor in. (Hopefully in the next 4 weeks). Because I am an owner and have driven the Hurricane as well as FFR's I can speak to the quality of the kit, quality and ride of the finished product, and the customer service provided by the company. All of them are top notch.
Keep in mind, the company (family) that owns and manufactures Hurricane also builds and manufactures New Way garbage trucks which is one of the largest garbage truck manufacturing firms in the world. Just check out their website and you will realize that Hurricane has some major financial and manufacturing muscle behind their product.
Every time I call them up, I get to speak to the guy that built my kit. You can't beat that for service. It's a tight knit but growing family of Iowa built Hurricanes. I recommend anyone who is looking at a kit cobra give this company a SERIOUS look.

My Hurricane

Those considering a build, Hurricane is really a untold gem. Value and quality way above others. But I am prejudiced.

Dang, Paul; that's a nice looking Cobra replica!

Your name sounds really familiar. We had Proefrocks who were pretty well known in NW Iowa for stock car racing. Any relation?

The important thing, here is that I have no intention of making an exact copy, but rather to capture the essence, the "flavor" if you will, of a race cobra that I will mainly drive on the street.

Once I get one build under my belt, I "may" scratch build an accurate representation, if it continues to light my candle. I think this might be an entertaining way to spend my retirement.

Well, I visited the Hurricane Motorsports factory today, and left extremely impressed by the quality of the product, the people and the processes.

Steve, Monty and Jason are really good people, who are genuinely dedicated to producing a product they can be proud of.

My wife and I sat in it and made motor noises, looked over replicas in various stages of assembly and left completely in love with this car.

We are approximately 6 months away from putting in an order and downpayment for "our" replica.

Cool car, imo.

Should'a had jason put the snow chains on that sucker and gone for a spin ...

Yeah, but it'd just come back from the detailers for a car show this weekend.

I'd hate to mess it up.

Since my visit, I've been Jonesing hard to get one of those in my garage. Patience....
