JW: The only "food" that gets PEPI really motivated is that ancient motivator of all men (and women) "green cabbage" (although if the truth be told ice cream after a NY strip steak will do it also).

Rick: Thanks for the kind words. Everytime I do one of these cars I do try to make it the best I can and can afford without getting way over budget.

I can say that almost every ERA owner I've ever met was extremely proud of his or her car and took great pains to do them correctly. As you know, any visit up to New Britain and the shop on Dewey Street is akin to a visit to the ultimate boy's toy shop. There are always new cars going together, each reflective of its owner's dream and vision.

I find that my only problem with these cars is that when I get through with a particular car, I go through a bit of "withdrawal" and immediately start planning the next one.
