Beautiful car and work by your shop. Congratulations. ERA should work out a deal to offer that as an extra cost option using your fenders from the molds.

Thanks Dan,
We are looking forward to doing another narrow hip in January and it is another ERA.

Dan the attached photo shows how we bonded the body to the outrigger.
It worked so well we elected not to use any external fasteners.
The bonding product is SEM multi use panel adhisive.

That's a nice detail. I ended up using countersunk 3/16 rivets on mine and a marine adhesive/sealer. Looks fine with the rivets flushed out and painted over but probably overkill. Looks like this may become a trend with ERA

Eddie getting her strapped up and heading home. His tow vehicle is just beautiful !! A brand new Diesel powered Jeep Cherokee with all the bells and
whistles. I never herd such a quite engine and at over 400 foot lbs of torque for a 6 cylinder it has way more than enough pulling power.
Eddie said he will send post photos as he completed the narrow hip.
