Terry,
You are absolutely right that Peter is a great guy to do business with, as are all the folks at ERA. Their service and responsiveness has been remarkable, and the experience of dealing with them has been great. They also make a pretty darn good car.
Peter, however, did not come up with the solution. I stumbled across some information on this process while searching earlier postings. I made the arrangements myself, but it was painless. Peter saw it for the first time this week when it was delivered back to ERA. I have not seen it myself, but Peter was very impressed.
As for the soapbox racer, I'm sure it's incredible. I only hope my car doesn't become the world's most expensive soapbox racer. There will be a little bit of work to do once the car finally arrives. I just hope none of it is beyond my capabilities. I may have to call on some of the Houston Cobra Club members for help.
By the way, what is a caliper?
I think I ordered my with stripes.
Rick
