Thanks to each of you. I sent my initial deposit last September 17, so it took a little over nine months to reach the head of the "queue." I remember seeing #749 being assembled at ERA when my wife and I visited last July 31, so perhaps ERA is doing quite a bit of turnkey work these days. Mine will be the 427 kit, which I will be building as a basic street car (FE, toploader, inboard rear brakes, undercar exhaust, no hood scoop, no rollover bar, 15 x 7 1/2" wheels all around, 235/60R-15 Goodyear Eagle GT II tires all around, bumpers front and rear, street dash with glovebox, Smith's instruments, no racing stripes). I will also have it painted locally. I was so excited reviewing options with Peter that I forgot to ask about their completion time! Perhaps (with the holidays) 4-6 weeks? I already have the wheels (Vintage Wheels Halibrand 5-pin replicas), tires, rebuilt toploader, and various other odds and ends, and I'm about to finish rebuilding the XJ rear end.
Hope that wasn't too much information, but this is exciting!
