Hint: Here's the secret to dealing with ERA: Just tell them what outcome you want, don't tell them how to do it, and don't ask them how much it will cost. If you follow those simple rules, everything will work out, regardless of how much, or little, of the build you do yourself.


Afterthought -- Maybe having an "eventful build" makes it more enjoyable? Let's check in with 767Jockey and get his thoughts on that....
Patrick,

Thanks for the advice ... I sent Peter a (2) page wish list of what I am considering, after going through all of the literature and all the pages on the ERA web site. My plan is to actually visit ERA and go over the list and rely on their experience and expertise. I definitely won't try to 're-engineer' the car, those guys have been doing this for a long time!
