Ike:

Now that they are into the production of the next run of SS tubs, I think the wait has come down a bit. They got backed up while Bob (ya know he's getting on a bit) tried to figure out (i.e.; remember) which pedals go where in the foot box.

The new tubs look neat and there are (as ERA is wont to do) a number of running changes that have been made to the design over the past 13+ years that they have been producing the cars. All with an end to improve the car.

As an aside, I waited 5 years for my first ERAGT #2038. To keep myself occupied I built two ERA427s while I waited and "the years just flew by." The 427s are simpler cars to do. I was able to more than recoup my investment in each when I moved on to the next and by the time the GT arrived I was more than ready to tackle that project. As a result the total build time (excluding paint) was less than four months (weekends and some evenings, only). Of course, I should add that the motor and gearbox, plus all the other parts were on hand and ready to go when the toy "box" arrived from ERA.

PS: I've waited almost as long for Exoto to deliver a 1:10 GTMkII.
