As some of you know, after being a guest lurker on this board for a bit, I finally decided to start asking questions regarding getting my own car. Over the weekend, I made the trip up to ERA to check out their shop and to put down my deposit on an ERA. It was really great to talk to Peter in person, after having talked to him on the phone. I can tell he will be good to work with as well, as he really knows his product, and after talking a bit, he knew exactly what I was looking for. I'm looking forward to many more visits up there in the future. He figures that I should have my car at about this time next year. Now on to the pics!
I tried to get around to get pics of as many of the cars as possible. I will post some of the shots here and you are welcome to go and check out all the pics I took. Of course I will be going up there again in the future, when they start on my car, so if you want me to take any other pics just let me know.
Here's a shot showing many of the cars ERA is currently working on. I think fkemmerer's car is the one on the lower left.
Peter mentioned that this car would likely be going out to the new owner at the end of this week:
A shot of the outboard rear that is discussed so often
I also loved the look of this car:
Will be getting a similar engine:

For those of you that haven't been to ERA's shop, it was great to see the fine craftsmanship that goes into these cars. You really can see that they spend quite a bit of time to be sure everything is "just right" with each car they build. I told Peter that it's like looking at a fine swiss watch, only in a bigger scale. We are truly lucky to have a company like ERA to provide us with such a fine auto. I am truly happy that I made my choice to go with ERA. Now the waiting begins!
