Hi Hank,
I am in Marietta GA. I ordered an ERA in 1999 and received it in 2000. I like ERA and one of the reasons I picked ERA was that I could do a lot of the work myself, including the body work and paint. FE engine with 4 sp top loader both out of a 66 Fairlane. It took me three plus years (including test painting junk yard parts
). I did it for the enjoyment and to save a little money. I still have the car if you are in the area and want to stop by please do. Also PM me if you want to talk.
P.S. Your post inspired me to re-join Club Cobra. My old login somehow got outdated.
