Once out of the paint shop it all goes together pretty quickly if you have the drive train ready to go. But again, ERA can probably do it quicker. My 2 cents anyway.

At the speed with which I work on my ERA, had I chosen to build it, not only would the finished product not have been nearly as nice, but I think it would have probably taken me about a year and a half to do. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know, I've seen the video where the ERA boys build the car at Carlisle in a weekend, but for us "working class stiffs," with a typical nicely-equipped garage, but not a professional one, I think a year to a year and a half is a true time estimation. You can get one from them built to your specs in less time than that. And, it won't have any dumb mistakes that come along with it.
