Stop Dreaming - Drive the Legend

The Hurricane 427 Roadster frame is a custom built ladder style frame  designed to provide excellent torsional rigidity along with precision  hard mounts for critical safety components of the kit. The main rails  are extremely strong 2″ X 4″ steel tubes with a wall thickness of 3/16″  (.180). All other frame steel is .120 wall tubing.

We achieve a high level of torsional rigidity by utilizing a large X  brace in the center section of the frame along with diagonal bracing to  the rear riser section of the frame. A more rigid frame reduces chassis  flex which maintains correct suspension geometry under hard cornering.

We have engineered hard mount points into the frame for all hinges  and latches, seat belts, seats, emergency brake and roll bar. An added  level of safety is achieved by mounting critical components directly to  the frame using gusseted brackets rather than mounting them to the  fiberglass or to aluminum.

Traditional round tube cross braces are used between the front suspension towers to prevent flexing during hard cornering.

The frame is reinforced in areas prone to stress such as near the motor mounts and over the rear axle.

The frame includes a double dropped foot-box with 1/8″ steel plate  floor pans. We’ve redesigned the foot box angling plate steel to provide  improved foot room.

We have also recently redesigned the frame of the dashboard (seen below with the foot boxes).

Each frame is built on a custom chassis jig to ensure consistent  placement of critical mounting points every time. All welding is done by  our certified welders.

Many parts are now cut by laser, or plasma cutters to improve part accuracy.
