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).

Hi Jim, that's why I'm trying to put together this schedule. I want to have all the major decisions made, the $$$ on hand, and the engine ready for when he calls.

How often do you touch base with Peter? I actually faxed out something to him last week, and he did confirm that he got it; I was hoping to go over it with him as well, yet I don't want to be a pest either. I'd appreciate your thoughts on this.
My thoughts were to have most of the build details worked out BEFORE the chassis is started, to ease the flow of construction.

So far, I have been quite happy with them.
