Take pictures of yours? My photocard only holds 150 pics, I don't know if I'll have enough room left after taking pictures of mine I'll keep an eye out for it and post or email you whatever pics I can.

Good luck with the dream...

Takes me back some 18 years ago when I finally took a deep breath and plunged in on my first ERA. Peter was working out of a trailer parked along side the welding shop at the time. The location was even more difficult to find back then (in the days before web sites with maps, etc.), hidden away around on Dewey Street, then as now without any sign or designation that you had arrived. Just trying to follow Main street though New Britain was a challenge.

The "finish" shop was still several years away. An old bathtub Porsche with a tree growing through occupied the site. So, if you don't believe that there was some trepidation in handing over a several thousand dollar deposit to an Italian working out of a trailer... with the wheels still on it, you don't know what the expression "a leap of faith" means.

Just "one" would be enough to make me cry for joy!!! Even if it were only of a lonely body Sure would be appreciated too!

snakebit Welcome to the ERA family. I would cut down the wait time to 18 months, it sounds better . After you get it, you are still looking at 15 to 75 hours for assembly, depending on the completion of the car. 2 thoughts, 1 any questions, call and ask Peter or Doug. 2 Let Era paint the car, their painters do a great job. If you have any problems, complain to and sergant of arms, Jim Holden, Don't let Jimmy kid you, he has owned a couple the the best ERA cars built. His GT-40 was tops. Rick Lake
