Congratuations Mike, the wait is worth it.
I think black is perfect for an ERA, first the bodies are nice and straight and the profile lines are correct. Mike you could be another candidate for our aluminum plating process. I have attached a picture of COBERA's hood I plated for him last year. After his cobra came back from ERA's paint shop Doug removed the hood and I went to ERA , picked up the hood and took it back to my shop were we had it plated and added the turnings effect, then returned it back to era and Doug, after salivating, installed the hood. The turn over time was about 7 days.
Good luck and enjoy
Ron
