As every new ERA owner comes to know, Peter does speak in code... (some would say he speaks in tongues) it takes awhile to learn the code... and that's why there is a six to nine months wait for an ERA; it takes that long to learn the code.
Welcome to the ERA family!
That first time a new Cobra fires up is as close as we males will ever get to experiencing child birth.

Congrats David!
--------------------------------------------------
Jim,
Six to nine months for an ERA? Man, how do you rate? 
You must be on the A-list or something. Maybe you can teach the rest of us some of the code...
I was thinking of building a custom FIA hybrid or something down the road.. can you send any pictures/links of your FIA 2045 car. I'd love to see it. Gettin itchy to do another build.

DC:
I find that if you arrive in New Britain with food, you always get immediate attention and the waiting time just flies by.
More seriously, lest you think I'm on "the A-list or something" , let me explain what the "code" has been for me.
It's essentially investing in ERA "futures" and it works like this: Before I sold my first ERA427SC in 88' I gave Peter two deposits, one for another Cobra and one for a GT, knowing that the GT would be at least a 3 year plus wait and the second 427 would "tide me over." Thus, when the first car sold, the next was ready to pick up. And I timed the sale of that when the GT was ready to go.
When I sold the second 427, I gave Peter another deposit, and when the GT ultimately sold in 99, I was ready to go with the FIA. I actually gave Peter 2 deposits for 2 more GTs, the first of which is about ready to go to paint. So, far I have been able to build each one and get what I have in to each car, plus a little more. Of course, my cars have always been just kits, not turn-keys.
That's the code.
Jim
PS: The ultimate goal is to have both the FIA and a GT at the same time, leveraged out of my first car almost 20 years ago.
PPS: Here are some pictures of my FIA in the ERA gallery: http://www.erareplicas.com/cars/holden2.htm
