I'll chime in too. I chose Hurricane as I also, wanted a period correct vehicle. The Hurricane body was splashed from an original car and matches to the 3200 series vehicles. It compares in authenticity to the ERA and some of the older, no longer available kits that also were molded from an original vehicle.
The Hurricane "kit" is very complete. You truly only need the drivetrain and the consumables.
I tried to document some of the things I did with my build, modifying to my preferences. It is a Gen I. Many of the things we found have been incorporated into the Gen II cars, making them an even better deal. A link to my site is included below
You can't go wrong.
