[ERA Chas]

Mooch,
Well put and thanks for expanding your situation-it helps guys to help you.

It is definitely a more positive and economical experience to build one of these just as you and only you, want it.
I guess that's really all Pat and I are hammering away at.

But most of us on here wind up advising 'do it the way I did it 'cause I found it best and baddest'. All have a definitive idea of how a Cobra 'should be'.

I think that anybody that answers a request for help/experiences/advice does mean well and you probably will too. You can see however that one can't be too 'thin-skinned' or the underlying information and advice is sometimes overlooked. The guys on here are great for sharing experiences and help. We just all ain't poets of the keyboard when doing so.

Starting with an ERA is a very rewarding first step in the process and a smart move since you have the resources to do so.

Do it your way and best luck. Show us the car when built.
