Thanks for the thoughts about the roll bar. I'm on a tight budget so I don't think I'd be able to afford to have roll bar fabricated, but I like the idea about having the mounts installed, just in case. I'll just have to see how the cost adds up; to be honest, I'm still saving my nickels and saving my dimes, very early in the process.
Definitely would go
sans roll bar, that was one of the first decisions I made. Really like the clean look of the street version.

Yeh, you're right about the Sunbursts. I didn't like them initially, but the more I ponder them, the more I do. For some reason I was under the impression that they weren't as wide as the Halibrand replicas, especially the rears. I suppose that the rear suspension could be altered to increase the track a bit and fill the rear quarters. I also have come across some pics of narrow bodied (in the rear) 427s, but that's not how the ERA comes standard and there's no way I can afford to be modifying the body, that's for sure. A car with the narrower rear quarters and Sunbursts would be primo, in my opinion. But for this example I'll definitely have to make budgetary concessions. Just not quite sure where, yet, or how many.
