I had my car painted by Tony, and it came out great. I think he had it for about 8 weeks.
I also purchased a top, but had ERA fit it. Well worth the cost to have them do so. I don't want to have to use it, but living in Texas, you never know when the sky may open up. I bought the top in the hope that I could keep most of the rain out of the cockpit if I get caught in a downpour.
I purchased almost everything else I needed from ERA, except the battery and the twin front fans. That way I knew everything would work.
I purchased the twin fan kit from Finish Line, but crafted my own mounting hardware. Below is a picture (maybe? or a link) of the installed fans.
I had ERA powder coat the frame and bond the body. I strongly recommend you do so also.
Good-luck.
