Rao-3:

I think Rickd's experience is fairly typical of a turn key. The chassis start time is the key to the whole following time line.

The salient points are: be ready with your money when Peter calls for an installment, make timely decisions, if you are providing any parts (motor, trans, etc.) get those items to ERA before they need them and stick more or less to the basic ERA plan (don't start asking for weird motor/trans combinations, brakes, etc. that requires re-engineering and additional fabrication).

Also, stay in touch with Peter on a regular basis. He has had customers order cars, then dissappear for months on end and then blow in and demand their cars.

The boys at ERA are human, they do their best to make and keep customers. With over 700 cars produced twenty five years (and I've been dealing with them for most of that time), there are a lot of satisfied ERA owners out there.
