LOOKOUT! ERA 742 Delivered

Finally (One year wait) in its cozy little nest, ERA 742 has its new home in the warm south (Ft. Myers). More pics in my gallery. Will install the 428CJ and toploader this week. Working on the color now but leaning heavily towards HOK Trublue with white stripe and red-orange recognition stripes. Car was ordered from ERA with white powder coated sidepipes, optional outboard rear brake option and a host of other "goodies". Stuffed a full size spare in the trunk. Fits....but very little room left over.

Congrats., you are gonna love it. One question, why are you going to install the drive train before the car is painted?

Enjoy the rest of your journey on the build!

Cobred,
Will be doing all the body work (fitting the scoop, rounding the cowl, etc.) and I'll get the car in primer....then install the engine. I prefer to get the car running prior to the painting the color coats. Just a matter of preference.
