Josh: Try B&B Mfg...they are super people and build some really nice kits..
*B&B Manufacturing - :::: - Feel the Thunder - :::: - Hotrods from Kit to Turn Key - ::::
bbmfg@jscomm.net
417-472-3547
Talk to Bryan Anderson
I have an LA Exotic which is now B&B...they did not build my car but have been invaluable to me upgrades and changes I have been making over the past year. I made a tour of thier operation last summer and was impressed.

Like the others said--move on to FFR or someone else. There are plenty out there that are just as good.. you might even want to try a Backdraft if you have the funds,

Thanks guys for all the thoughts. But I really like the completeness of the Hurricane kit and their customer service was like I was talking with my father simply amazing. But they just dropped the ball with talking with us. Why not remain at least friends with you customers? Keep talking with them that’s all. To just shut the doors with all customer service is not good for any company not Hurricane or even Dell. What is there excuse for not replying to anyone? And you are all right this business is a little crazy at times and many companies do just close the doors and I really don’t want to see that with this one. I feel somehow connected with the way they treated me from the first time I spoke with them.
I can move on to another company and I probably will I just want to get my story out there and maybe just maybe get an resolution to all this.

Jwd you may be right "This is their true calling Contact Us - Hurricane Software Cobras are a sideline. Doesn't mean they are a non-profit business though."

Thanks Guys,
Josh

Completely understand your situation and feelings. Some of us around here are in the same boat with Classic Roadsters II. They pretty much dropped off the face of the earth about a month ago. Some of us are in mid-build and still waiting owed parts/components.

You seem like a real nice guy. Don't take this the wrong way but that might be a problem. This industry and world are full of weasels. The worst breed besides lawyers (sorry Jamo) are car weasels. You might need to grow a larger set, they don't want your friendship just your money. Move on to another car. feel the wind in your hair sooner. ITS NOT ABOUT THE BUILD ITS ABOUT THE DRIVE!!

Josh,

As others have said move on and consider a B&B or a Backdraft. Both are excellent cars and both are in the same price range. I am more familiar with Brian Anderson and Barry McGill at B&B and they build an excellent kit. Mine is 8 years old and does not have a stress crack ANYWHERE! B&B is a quality kit and I would replace mine with another in a minute. Their customer service is as good as Hurricane.

Backdraft is an excellent choice as well and Reggie Dodd or James Yale can get you into one pretty quick. But they only sell rollers.

Your story almost brought me to tears. Have you spoken to your priest, minister, rabbi yet?

Grow up and get over it , it's freeken car and there are plenty of other companies willing to sell you their brand.

WTF if you really want to build your own get a FFR

How about a little compassion? If you compared a Hurricane and a FFR side by side, you'd understand why he wants a Hurricane so bad. I have, that's why I bought what I did.

Missed that sensitivity class back in your school days?

Josh -- Seriously -- Your hung up on something about "their" customer service. Do some more research and you WILL find companies that have been doing this longer and with as much quality, or better, than Hurricane's. Move on to the next company before your dream car goes to far into the realm of girly man crush for the Hurricane guys.

You know, this is the kind of post I'd expect on a different, much-less valuable and largely defunct Cobra-related site, "Cranky", but not here. I mean, we don't have to gather around and sing kumbaya, but maybe we could try to stay in the positive and actually provide good counsel and opinion. Gimme a break.

That being said, I agree with those who have said there are other quality companies out there that can provide as good a product or better.

Wait until FFR releases the Dick Smith replica and you'll have everything you dreamed of.

JoshBiz · #15 (**permalink**) 02-01-2008, 07:50 AM

Did you see this in that link (http://www.factoryfive.com/whatsnew/...cy/text.html):

"The very first Legacy Series 427 will be donated to the Ohio Cobra Club in support of their efforts to raise money for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation at the 2010 London Cobra Show."

Serial number 1 will be up for raffle, turnkey. Something a little different for 2009 as well.

I know we here at the OCC are looking forward to 'seeing' the first one

JoshBiz,

Kinda spooky your committment and passion for these people, you give me enough money and I can talk to you like family. From what I have seen Hurricane has not wasted a penny of anyone's money. Those that committed cash,funds, received their cars / parts and those that vacillated received what they paid for which was nothing.
