I built mine from scratch - bonding, body work, painting myself - thus the long build. Getting a painted roller from ERA - I don't have a good basis to answer from but I would guess 6 to 18 months. It depends on how much assembly you had ERA perform, the amount of time you have to work on it, the speed with which you get the motor/trans set up and installed, any last minute glitches. For instance, I've killed most of the last 30 days resolving some electrical issues and a leaking heater shut off valve. I don't what it is lately - but Fed Ex and UPS deliveries have been slower than I could ever have imagined. 1-1/2 weeks to deliver a shut off valve from ERA - who could have figured. The heater switch took even longer in shipping. From CT to Arkansas appears to be like shipping to a foreign country. It's not ERA's fault - they deal with requests and ship fast. It's the shippers.
But, you should be in the ball park.
