Why does the price list show $900 for the ERA rear end?
The complete, rebuilt/new unit with outboard brakes from a late model corvette is $5,200.
I own ERA #690, and I absolutely love it!
It is spec'd out very similar to what you are saying.
I agree with some others on the subject of cost.
Expect to be out-of-pocket about $87-K to $92-K for the complete car even if you handle some things that you can do.
Paint? Connecticut Custom Car in Enfield has done over 300 of these cars, and they just did my car last month.
They are fiberglass specialists and bake the car several times throughout the process.
The cost is not $7,500, it is more like $10,000, but it is worth it.
If you chose the wrong paint shop, and they don't know about fiberglass cars; you may have settling of the finish because the baking was not done.
I saw a car that they did 10 years ago, and it still looked like it was done the day before.
