Who is the "we" you refer to? Do you have a shop and employees or are you referring to the ERA staff?

The "we" is my son, Ryan, and myself. Not profesionals. Just a couple of amateurs having a blast building reproductions. |

Sounds like a really great project hope to follow your progress here. I was also hoping to do something similar (as photo) but have backed off to just a street version. Plan on using the Trigo 16 inch kidney beans. Been a long wait, picking up mine (pile of parts) end of next month and anxious to get started. |

That is, I believe, CSX 2136. One of the Lemans cars. Saw it at Leguna Seca in August, beautifully restored. Took lots of pictures. That would be a great car to copy. |

This should be a great project. I'm a big fan of Ken Miles, and also the 289 cars, whether a standard roadster, Comp 289 or FIA.
Please post plenty of words and plenty of pics!
Cheers,
