Default Welcome!

GF, you arrived at the ERA decision the same way I did. I looked around at the highly regarded manufacturers and chose ERA by reputation .. knowing that it would take longer to get the car than from most any other. You have probably tallied all the changes ERA has just made in the 427 .. including the standard aluminum trunk and engine house trim, wider footwells, etc. Lots of extra value, no extra price (yet). Plus this kit has been refined for decades.

My chassis (745) is close to going out to Tony's for paint. Color sample is in my gallery. Just ordered an aluminum WR toploader and clutch/bellhousing from David Kee. Standard 2.78 first gear. Will use 3.31 IRS provided by ERA, six pin wheels, Goodyear Billboards by Roger Kraus just drop shipped to ERA. Motor is rebuilt 390FE with stock short block, all new Edelbrock top end. Rolling chassis from ERA, I will install wiring, engine, tranny, interior myself.

Stay plugged in here .. these guys are all out there doing it ahead of you and they are great about sharing!

Sam
