Thanks for the feedback. I will absolutely make the trip to ERA - only 4 1/2 hour drive. I'm still in early stages, though, and was hoping to see an ERA car locally. Pottstown is close and I'm absolutely sure Bill's car is a good deal but a major part of my plan is to build a car with my car-nut son... He's home from school for Christmas and I was hoping to take him somewhere to see an ERA car and get some pointers from someone in the area. So, if anyone within a couple hours of Philly likes to show off their car, I'd love to come visit.

While I'm writing, one pretty basic question about the ERA body - haven't found too much on this in the posts I've read so far. As far as body work required to get it ready for paint, the Factory Five cars require a lot, Antique and Collectible (with gelcoat option) require very little or none...I believe the ERA is somewhere in between but closer to the Antique and Collectible?

Thanks again.
