Kevin:
I obviously have no experience in putting together an RCR, nor any experience with dealing with the company, much less the level of support that they give to a purchaser of one of their kits.
I can only tell you that my priorities in dealing with a company have been more than satisfied in my now twenty plus year experience with the folks up at ERA. I have always felt that they have given me solid value for my money (in no small measure because I have always been able to sell my ERAs for more than I have in them). Too, besides the great customer support and being able to recoup my investment, I have always felt that ERA has engineered a solid car (and keeps on making improvements), that looked right and for which I never had to make any apologies for any material change from the original cars. As to the cost of doing these cars, I believe that, ultimately, if a car is done to the same standard the investment into it will be essentially the same and, as I previously indicated, in my experience any differential has been returned to me on the sale of my ERA.
My suggestion is always to narrow your "top draft choices" down to a couple of companies and take the time to go and visit their shops, see how the cars are fabricated and, most of all, talk to every owner you meet about their experience with their car. Due diligence being the watchword.
