Red57 -
I ordered my ERA FIA as a "roller", and finished it myself with the help of a few friends. The car goes together beautifully - there was not one part that did not fit exactly where it was supposed to (except a few I made up myself
.
The service from ERA, whether it's parts, technical assistance, or just ideas, is outstanding. They know what they are doing, and really know how to communicate it. Their assembly manual is first class.
I'd probably recommend to you that you have them paint it, too - if I had it to do all over again, that's what I'd do. I got a really nice paint job on my car, but I think it cost me about twice as much as they would charge.
Sorry to hear you must sell the 'Bird to get your ERA - I sold my McLaren Capri to get my 'Bird (after recuperating from the build of my ERA car) this past summer.
