I had era powder coat & bond the body to the frame, then send it from one coast to the other. They assembled the eRa rear assembly & shipped that on a pallet. I pretty much did everything else, including body, paint, assy & much of the engine work. There were a couple tricky parts. The a-arms were a tight fit & the wiring to the engine was a little vague but, nothing that a little ingenuity couldn't fix.
You might consider having them paint it. They have a local painter who knows these cars & does nice work. Fiberglass is never fun & probably not something you want to expose your kids to.
In the end, ERA has a really nice product. I didn't come across anything in the build where it seemed they had cut corners. The work is all high quality & the cars are beautiful. The only reason I would go ERA again, is if I made the jump to aluminum body.
