ERAGT2077 has been a work in progress. I've tried to replicate what woould have been the ultimate version of the car as raced in 1969.
Some of its featurers are:
Right hand drive
Gurney Eagle heads w/ Webers
SafirGT Spares bellhousing and twin plate clutch setup
ZF gearbox/transaxle
BRM 15x10 and 15x14 mag wheels
Sierria front brakes
front and rear flares to accomodate Dunlop race tires
AC
roll cage
late style door handles
custom
oil cooler and duct work by Ted
and more...

PS: The modification to the lower "hoop" section was a result of my utilization of the SafirGT40 Spares bellhousing which has the lower attachment bosses/bushings to locate the bottom of the bellhousing. Teddy made up a little jig after we located the engine in its installed location (approx. 5 degrees down). He then drilled a pilot hole and which he opened the hole up with a hole saw. He machined some steel bushings and then tig welded them into the chassis lying on his back. A beautiful job and located everything perfectly.
PPS: As to the "eternity" aspect of waiting for a custom built ERAGT, I can quite agree that it is not for everyone. I can only speak for myself in saying that my relationship with the talented folks at ERA has evolved over a periodn of almost 25 years and now some six cars. I have been fortunate in having several projects in the works at any one time, thus my focus has always been on having the cars built the way I wanted them done and not on how fast I could get them done. Peter P., Teddy, Doug, Bob and all the guys at ERA are super to deal with and have tolerated my nonsense. So, for me, they have truly made fantasies into reality.
