If I were going to do it over again I'd go with the competition dash rather than the street dash. Steering wheel spokes can obstruct the tach sometimes.

I think the competition dash with the addition of a glove box is the best of both worlds. It's nice to have a place for sun glasses and registration paperwork. ERA goes a nice job, with carpet on the inside. It's pretty big too.

It is the best of both worlds. But, you pretty much have to use the Smiths gauges, and you really need the reverse speedometer to make it all "work." Uhhh, and did I mention the walnut burl shift knob and Moto-Lita steering wheel just go beautifully with the Smiths look? And, the absolute best way to ensure that the spoke of the wheel doesn't block a gauge is to get the quick release hub -- that way you can configure the orientation of the steering wheel in a jiffy. Hmmmm, let's just stretch that budget a little more.... |

Gentlemen,
What's the difference in the "competition dash" and the regular or non comp dash (terminology)?

The configuration of the gauges, and whether you have a glove box. Pics are on page 6 here: http://www.erareplicas.com/brochure/427sc.pdf I opted for the competition dash, but with a glove box as well. |

I have to say, out of the web sites I've reviewed, ERA has by far the most comprehensive. I find something I haven't seen daily.

When you are ready we all will help with your shopping and help spend plenty of your money! 
My big fat 3-ring binder full of receipts has a big note on the front that says "DON'T COUNT!"

yea, that a rule of thumb with any hobby. NEVER add the total costs, just look at each individual purchase and the emotion attached to it. |

I have that wheel and the quick release hub. I also got the SW gauges though I sort of wish I had gotten the Smiths.

Is the AC horn button or the Cobra button more correct?
I personally, like the Cobra button.
