You guys are fantastic. Many thanks for the replies!

A few things are absolute musts:

- Stock wheelbase. Even a 92" wheelbase looks off to me.
- At 6'4" with a 35-36" inseam, I need to fit. I realize this makes the above more difficult but not impossible.
- Authentic details albeit not overly so e.g. MUST have a forward leaning shifter, but I don't care if the radiator is canted or not.
- IRS

Things that weigh on my decision:

- Chassis. As a complete enginerd, I like the birdcage chassis and riveted panels of the FFR a LOT. I find the chassis of the SPF to be pretty lame. Even is it doesn't make a bit of difference in the stiffness or handling of the car, I like that it's there!

Speaking of chassis, I haven't found a picture of a bare Hurricane chassis anywhere. Do you guys know of any pics online?

Thanks again!
