So ERA #783 was delivered Saturday morning by Intercity Lines, who by the way did an excellent job. The car is f'n perfect and exactly what has been in my head for the last twenty odd years. ERA really does phenomenal work. Gestation was 10 months 16 days for a turn-key.
As I couldn't title it over the weekend, there was a lot of waxing and polishing going on, with some carb tuning as well. It has already drawn first blood - stuck my finger on the end of a safety wire while cleaning the wheels. I titled it and registered it Monday afternoon, yesterday, and I have about 50 miles on it already - 50 very slow and careful miles.
Many thanks to ERA, Robert Pond, and CT Custom Cars for a job really well done.
I'll be taking a ton of pictures of the entire car this upcoming weekend, but for now here are some quick pictures before the first real drive with my wife:
