Ross ERA 427 SC build

[CCKW353]

The car has been at the body shop getting ready for the paint work so I hope to have it back in a few months. The engine is a short block right now and once the heads are back, the final build will start.

Alright, I remember you sent your deposit in back in February of 2018. So we're looking at a good two and a half years or more on this build. For the benefit of other guys who might be considering this, was there anything you could have done to have sped this along a little bit?

Hi Patrick,

Correct Feb 2018 and the car came home Sept 2019. The body shop was the delay since they were busy finishing other stuff so my car had to wait until this past Feb. So maybe not having it painted by someone local to ERA could have delayed me a little but from what I have read and guys have told me, usually having it painted near ERA would add 6 or so months before pickup/ delivery.... seems like I am still around the same finish time. I can’t win for losing....haha. A good thing is the body shop I am using has done a lot of work for me and is only a mile away. My hope is to have it on the road by late summer. So all in it might be 2 yrs and 6 or 7 months for me. Seems about the norm.... just about 3 yrs.
