a new ERA!!!! Thanks to everyone for all the help in making my decision. I guess I need to factor in the cost of new carpeting due to pacing the floor for the next 12 months

It's too late to save you. The cobra's venom has worked it's way into your central nervous system, causing irrepairable changes to the way your brain processes thought. There is no known cure. It's a hopeless lifelong condition, with noticable symptoms including a permanent ear-to-ear grin, thoughts constantly wandering back to cobras, and a desire to hear the rumble of sidepipes and the smell of burnt rubber. I wish you luck dealing with your new disease.

Joe,
One "must have" option IMHO is to have the ERA mount the body and bond it in place. Takes up less space in the garage during the building process, and they can do it better than you and I can. Other than, with great manual they provide you'll do fine.
Congrats!

Re: Must Haves...
Hey Joe,
Congratulations! You will be VERY pleased with your purchase.
One Must-Have that I came up with was to have the engine/trans/differential and miscellaneous parts all finished and ready to go so when your car gets there you can put it together that much quicker to start driving it sooner.
