And so it begins, again!
No really, this is my last one, seriously.
Anyway, when I built my last GT40 I really enjoyed building a replica of an original car. I wanted to do that again with a this cobra. I chose CSX3155 as the model for my replica.
I really like the look of the solid black. I can add some color later with vinyl if I get board with the solid or want to go for the racing look. The drive line is centered around an aluminum Pond 427 block topped with a set of weber's, bolted to a Richmond 5 speed.
I chose the Hurricane because I have always admired their attention to original design where ever practical. Since this car is going to be built with attention to original design, there was really only 2 choices for me. Of the 2, I chose Hurricane because I was familiar with their earlier cars and it was at least 5 grand less.
I want to document all the steps of the build, the good and the bad! I have tons of pictures already but I will start at the beginning with the bare frame. I want to do this here to get feed back from the forum members and to show those that have an interest in the new Hurricane exactly what to expect. I just want to keep the "off topic" to a minimum.
Here we go......
This is new Hurricane frame fresh out of the jig before it was sent of for gloss black paint.
