Smile Thank You ERA!

Fellow Car Nuts:

I just wanted to post and say THANK YOU to ERA and the help they have given us lately with questions about Jag differetials. They have really been nice to us and helped us through some headaches.

(Jamo, you should be thanking them as well.)

ERA is a GREAT company!!!

David

Hey David,

We're going to get a big discount on an aluminum body, right?

Actually, in the last couple of days two people have asked about an aluminum body on our chassis. I don't know - seems like a sacrilege.

Bob-
I don't care how big a discount David gives you, don't you dare put an aruminum skin on my ERA. I wouldn't be able to buy enough steel wool and windex to keep it looking shiny

This thread is certainly not a surprise given the fact that wI only hear good things about Bob Putnam/ERA and also the Kirkhams. Great to see "coopetition" going on in this industry.

Bob.......soon the rage will be fibreglass bodies as "that's what the original kits were"........LOL


I like the aluminum bodies too, seems a shame to paint them.

Bob you have been a great help when i had questions....not many good people go unrecognized. I don't have an ERA either!

Thank you Mr. Putnam.



Dear Mr. Kirkham,

Mr. Putnam will certainly tell you what a treat it is to have Mr. Turk whine about waiting for his car. Trust me when I tell you that Mr. Turk is an amateur when it comes to whining (although he does have have that unique way of doing it with an accent). I, on the other hand, have a license to whine.

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!! I WANT MY CAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Talking

Jamo,

Don't whine too much...the questions were about your differential!!! We ran into a couple of technical difficulties today and Bob was kind enough to help out. Parts will be here tomorrow morning at 8:30.

Your Chariot of Fire is top priority now. I guess I will just have to do some more test driving while I wait for them to arrive...bummer.

David

David and Bob,

Is it possible that I could have my beloved ERA 004 rebodied aluminum?

The mind boggles, Pete C
