I'm just finishing up the paint work on my ERA and getting ready to start assembly. Some actual things you will need or may need:

- I think they rivet in all the panels when you have them bond the body so you can skip most of the rivet work.
- Some form of underlayment for vibration and heat control on the aluminum interior panels. I'm using a combo of EZ Cool and BQuiet.
- Some form of undercoating or bedliner for the wheel wells. The coremat will protect the finish but you may want to coat it and the aluminum panels for blackout and noise control.
- Some material or plan for finishing out the trunk interior. I got carpet from ERA but it's not standard.
- I plan on coating the engine compartment panels with a clear protectant - SharkHide from Eastwood
- Tires/Wheels
- Engine/Clutch/Starter/Flywheel/Alternator/Engine mounts/Pulleys/Fan belt/Battery cables/Battery/Radiator hoses/Bellhousing/pilot bearing/throw out bearing/clutch fork/Air Cleaner/fastners (AARP probably) for all prior items.

Nothing that ERA doesn't have covered in their manual. If you haven't already, ask ERA for a copy of the complete manual now so you can be studying it.

Good luck
