I DIDN'T BUILD EITHER OF MY ERA CARS (427 S/C AND GT-40) SO I CAN'T ADDRESS THAT ASPECT AT LEAST NOT YET. THE OVERALL ENGINEERING AS WELL AS THE CRAFTSMANSHIP ARE ABSOLUTELY EXTRAORDINARY. THE DETAILS, ORIGINALITY, FIT AND FINISH ARE THE BEST I HAVE EVER SEEN.

AS SOON AS MY NEW GARAGE (AND HOUSE) ARE BUILT I'LL HAVE ROOM TO BUILD A 289 FIA CAR AND AT THIS POINT IT WILL CERTAINLY BE AN ERA CAR. I'M REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO BUILDING THIS ONE MYSELF AND WILL POST MY OPINIONS THEN.

I JUST DON'T THINK YOU CAN GO WRONG WITH ERA. IN MY OPINION (SUBJECT TO CHALLENGE, OF COURSE) IF YOU INITIALLY INVEST IN A "TOP QUALITY" CAR YOU CAN EXPECT A MUCH BETTER RE-SALE PRICE. I DON'T EXPECT TO HAVE ANY DIRECT EXPERIENCE IN THAT AREA BECAUSE YOU COULDN'T GET EITHER OF MINE AWAY FROM ME AT GUNPOINT.

OH, THAT'S RIGHT, YOU ASKED ABOUT PROBLEMS, DIDN'T YOU.

OK - - - THEY ARE AN ABSOLUTE PAIN IN THE A$$ TO TRY TO GET REPLACEMENT PARTS FROM.

BOB! - - - BOB? - - - I'M STILL TRYING TO GET MY RADIATOR, COOLING FANS, BRACKETS, WATER PUMP, TOP AND SIDE CURTAINS. WASSUP???

OF COURSE - - THERE IS ALWAYS THAT TROUBLEMAKER ON THE LEFT COAST (VACAVILLE, CA, AS I RECALL) WHOSE LATEST PREPOSTEROUS COMPLAINT IS THAT "THE HIGH BEAM INDICATOR BULB IS TOO BRITE". NOW, THAT'S REALLY "REACHING". I DON'T HAVE A RADIATOR AND HE'S COMPLAINING ABOUT A LIGHT BEING TOO BRITE. (HI, TURK - - -HOW'S MY MAIN MAN??)

Y'ALL HAVE A REALLY GREAT DAY,
