The only issue I have with an owner built ERA is the possiblitiy of quality issues.

The first ERA I looked at was in 1999 and it was used. It was without a doubt one of the biggest POS I have ever seen. A blind man could have done a better job. The body was offset on the frame by over 3/4 of an inch. The wiring looked like a rats nest. I lost all interest in the car at that point, so I did not inspect if further, but I'm willing to bet that the rest of the car was no better.

And before I pi$$ off a lot of people, I realize this was probably a extreme case. Most people that would buy an ERA are paying a premium price, and are the types of individuals that do a good job.

However, the possibility still exists.
