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.

Looks like no sleep for you tonight!:D
Great lookin' car, now the FUN begins. Be sure to post some of the build pics........good luck.

Never mind the car, how about the fine artistic quality of that photograph??:3DSMILE:

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

RACER X #99 01-07-2003 09:04 AM

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:3DSMILE:

Ikestaa 01-07-2003 09:08 AM

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.

Gorgeous color Ikestaa!! Gorgeous ERA as well.

Edley Rondinone 01-07-2003 04:43 PM

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

susan parham 01-07-2003 05:03 PM

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

Ikestaa 01-07-2003 06:53 PM

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. :D.

ToyCollector 01-07-2003 07:52 PM

Ikestaa, maybe stripes on the motor would be a good compromise?? :LOL: :LOL: 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 :LOL: .

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

Chaplin 01-07-2003 08:51 PM

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

Thanks,
Mike

ERA 626 01-07-2003 09:06 PM

Nice color!!!
Like Chris , I am a couple months ahead. My car is done just waiting for the motor from Gessford:D
I too can give advise if needed!

BT SNAKE 01-07-2003 09:06 PM

Iksta, Chris and Mike,
Get those ERA's done in time for the Fling ! You won't
find a better place to debut them....Not to mention all the fun
you'll have .

Hersh:)

PS. Really , Really nice Iksta...

petek 01-07-2003 09:16 PM

Boy does that color look great on a Cobra!

Sweet, very sweet.

Edley Rondinone 01-07-2003 10:48 PM

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

got snake? 01-07-2003 11:15 PM

man I though black with silver stripes looked good...Now I got to and another color to my list of choices!

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...

That looks great! Enjoy it.
