She's On Her Way
Roxanne, otherwise known as ERA #634 is on her way home. So far, she is scheduled to show up Wednesday morning.
I have attatched a picture taken by a fellow CC member while at ERA.

Never mind the car, how about the fine artistic quality of that photograph??

It looks even better in person. Congrats. Now that yours is done, maybe they can finsish mine

Ike,
Beautiful car, I'll give you about 3 years for shows and cruising and then I'll start pestering you about open track. 
Good luck,

Cranky,
If it were mine, the track would be the first place it would go. My dad has talked about taking it to IRP to run the 1320. I mentioned open track days, but mom wasn't really thrilled. One thing I can assure you is that it won't be in a show.

I Like It!!! Always had a place in my heart for metallic burgundy( or what color it may be!) Are you getting it striped! Edley

John & Ike -
The car is abolutely beautiful. So glad Bill will not give in to red or yellow plug wires-simply would not match. Since Bill is not into "on line talk", let's not tell him that the car doesn't have a stripe - which he feels is much worse than a "red distributor cap"!!! Just ask your photographer. Call us when you are ready to install the engine - we are here to help. Susan

Hey susan,
Sorry I didn't call you after we got the motor. It, the motor, is just as gorgeous as the car. You guys certainly did a fine job. We just can't wait to hear it. I sent you an email a while ago, but I don't think it got through, so I will send it again. Thank you once again.
Edley,
The color is Porsche's arena red metallic. A neighbor has it on her Boxster and my dad had to have it. I think it turned out okay  . We also decided to go without a stripe.
ps. I never though this day would come, but it is time to get rid of the Eeeeeeevvvvveeeeeennnnnnnnnttttuuaally in my profie. .

Ikestaa, maybe stripes on the motor would be a good compromise??  Again, a man of good taste--even though the car has no stripes.
You answered my next question already. Take a peak at my gallery. I own an Arena Red Porsche. I actually went to see Bill in it last Friday (it has no stripes either). I parked it around back as it was a non-Ford product.
You are going to be ABSOLUTELY surprised by the compliments you get from this color--I know I was. If you gave me 10 different Porsche colors to choose from, I would have ranked this one about 5. That said, I get MORE compliments on the color from EVERYONE than any other car I own. Late afternoon, broken cloud cover make people drool over the paint. I have no idea why, and I do not have the same affliction, I just want you to know what you may find. Especially on something as curvacious as a Cobra. Silver stripes would look nice with that by thw way .

Ikesta,
Congratulations. Great looking car. I'm just a month or so ahead of you with my ERA. So far, I have the rearend installed, the trunk carpet done, the wiring done and a few of the other miscellaneous things installed. Things have gone quite smoothly but I've learned a few things along the way. If you're interested in some pointers based on my experiences, let me know and I'll fill you in on a couple of things that might save you a little bit of time.
Chris

Chris-
I am two months behind Ike and I'd love to hear whatever pieces of advice you have to offer!
Thanks,
Mike

Put the silver stripes on the UNDERSIDE of the hood!!! Or a cobra snake would look real sharp, and you wouldnt have to show anyone unless you wanted to! Edley

Ikestaa,
I saw it as well on my visit to heaven over the Holidays. The picture does not do it justice. My wife was with me - it was like a magnet for her. She is still asking me what that color was. Enjoy!!! Just beautiful...
