I am awaiting my 289 FIA as we speak. I recently sold my 59 Cad Coupe DeVille to fund mine also. I agree with
CJ428CJ, have the major components such as the engine & transmission built, buy one of the ERA rear assemblies & let the manual help you through the rest. I personally feel that I could do most of the building of these things myself but have decided that I want to let the professionals handle it for me out of convenience. I may do most of the assembly of the motor myself & the paint/body I haven't completely decided on but may eventually farm that out also. The manual is very complete & though I haven't started my build I have read through it a few times. Everything in the book is very straight forward & complete. Almost everyone that you speak to here will tell you to have the body bonded & the frame powder coated. I am doing as I have been instructed
& adding as many of the high dollar items as I can afford before shipment. ERA makes a real fine car! Good luck on convincing the wife!
