Default ERA Slabside Flares

Not that I'm in the Market right now(Who knows in the future ) but I have been wondering since it is one of my favorite looks. Will ERA be doing any extensions of the Fender Flares on the Slabsides to give it that Comp Look? Possibly as an option?

They are in a thrash just to get the slabside into production. But I would speculate it's only a matter of how thick your checkbook is... It shouldn't be a big deal (but then that's what I said about doing the slabside in the first place).

It's a great looking car. I hope it is successful for them.

I spoke to Peter (Joseph flares) and Bob (about timing) about this, the answer is yes on a order basis. A one off if you will.
Too bad they are so far out on a 289 comp as I would have moved on one yesterday.

Any waiting time I post is closer to a shot in the dark than to an educated guess. Peter does the scheduling and knows the flow much better than me. I just attempt to keep my part of the production flow relatively uninterrupted.

8-12 months is not that long to wait (if you are waiting for exactly what you want). I have been working on my car for 3 years! I'm sure ERA would do a really nice job making an early comp cobra replica.

If you have a year or so, and you're willing to write a decent-sized check, they will build you anything your heart desires.
