I would agree to have them paint/powder coat the chassis and bond the body. That has to be VERY cost effective.
Bonding the body...why reinvent the wheel? ERA's guys have done it dozens of times, there has to be a learning curve and you really only get one chance to do it right.
ERA's parts prices are as good/better as anyones for most everything on the car. I tried to shop around just to establish contact with some of the vendors, but you won't save any, and just may get the wrong parts when you buy from outside sources.
Plus, everything you buy individually has to be shipped...get it all, or as much as you can budget shipped at once. When the car is shipped it doesn't cost anymore to throw in a few box's of parts for the ride.
Regular tools covers most everything. The whole car is so well thought through ( see the manual ) and engineered there just aren't any problems.
Help is as far away as the telephone...
