I thought that I would officially introduce myself on here. My name is Aaron, from Minnesota and I just signed the purchase agreement on HM-2016. So officially, I'm the newest member of the Hurricane family. I have been in the market for a cobra replica for the past year after being turned onto Factory Five. After looking at Factory Five, Shell Valley, Hurricane, B and B, ERA and Lonestar I settled on Hurricane.
I think that the aforementioned companies are all building really good cars. I think that each replica has its pluses and minuses. For me Hurricane got my business because it is a authentic replica of one of the originals, it has very comfortable foot wells, the customer service is awesome, and the quality of the kit components are top notch. Plus, the kit was truly complete. Finally, the fiberglass quality was better than anything else I have seen. I have looked at all the above kits and I have not seen any fiberglass cobra bodies, with the exception of ERA, that could match the quality of the Hurricane fiberglass. From the way the mold lines were placed in inconspicuous spots, to the straight, non-wavy fiberglass, to the way the doors, trunk and hood fit, I was blown away. I have been working with Steve and Jason and will have the opportunity to build the car to Stage 1 (roller) with them. I am planning on having an online build thread for this as well. It may be on the Hurricane site and it may be here, stay tuned for more detail. Bottom line, I am really excited to be a part of the Cobra replica family and I can't wait to get this thing out for a cruise! Gotta build it first though
