Hey Larry, No I woudn't be using the Corvette parts for the Hurricane kits. I have been using those parts for my new Dragon's, and a 23 model T inspired Hot Rod. I always wanted a Cobra and I love the new Vettes so I built my new Cobra with those parts. I have begun selling those. I realize that not everyone wants the kind of Cobra I built. I think that it looks great and it's performance is outstanding, but it is not Ford based and it is more expensive than alot of kits. Although not by a great amount.
The idea for adding the Hurricane is to add a kit that is of good qualtiy, is more traditional, and would broaden the market for my cars. Well see how things work out. Obviously I am in the discovery stage at this point.

Chris, good to hear from you. I would really like to come down and see your car. If I added the Hurricane I would be manufacturing the parts in New Hampshire. I have finished my Cobra chassis jig and have made the first frame out of it. I also have finished a new Dragon jig and made the frist frame out of it. I am in the middle of making changes to the Dragon body, adding options to it, and even adding a coupe version! That work is being done at the shop you were in. It is in completely different shape then when you visited!
Here are a few pics of my cars. The Cobra weighs a little under 2200lbs, The Dragon 1980lbs, and the T bucket is 1840lbs.
