The wait has been fun But I am really looking forward to driving the car. Last week I went for my first ride ever in a Cobra. I was given the job of driving instructor at a local Auto X, (which just amounts to showing the new folks around the track) A guy and his wife showed up with a FFR. She was having a little trouble finding her way around so I jumped at the chance to ride in that car..er..that is... show her the way around the track. Big mistake, It just made me want my car more! As to calling Peter, I have tried very hard to make sure and not be a pest. I'll just keep patiently waiting. Does it really take 30 min to assemble the top?

Go ahead and be a pest. If Peter isn't used to it, I'm sure he's come to expect it and he is good natured about it. I know how you feel about the wait. The closer it gets, the more difficult the wait. Try not to get frustrated. ERA moves at their own pace and in their own time. Just remember that when it's done, it will be the best it can be. Mine is one of those turnkeys that they are working. I've been up there three times now and plan to go back up 12 August. Mine is 289FIA #2111. metallic blue (actually 2006 ford mustang vista blue). Just came back from the painter about 2 weeks ago. The engine, 1964 289 stroked to 331, has been waiting at Danbury Competition Engines for the car for about 5 months now. I keep telling Peter that even the engine is itching to get going.
