A visit to ERA was what did it for me. Went up there in 2005 and was impressed enough to laydown the deposit. When you were there in Oct you probably saw mine, metallic blue, no stripe. I ordered it turnkey. Was told by Peter that it should be done by sometime in February. At the time of the order, I knew that I wouldn't have the time to complete the car myself, too many hours work and commute. Now I'm really glad I went turnkey, since my garage and all of my tools are home in CA while I'm working in MD (same hours, longer commute). Hope to have everything in one place for the next one so that I can do the mechanicals myself as you are planning.
