I'm ordering an ERA! Seeking your experienced opinions

[madmaxx]

I cant say enough about Richie. I had everybody and their mother tell me with the hood between the fenders it would never match, or they just wanted to due a little blend and clear half. I searched from Galveston to Houston, and finally figured what other cars are made of fiberglasss, voila corvettes, hit some corvette forums and bingo.

There is an ERA on Cobra Country. Looks close to what you want if not more on the engine side. What is your logic for not saving $15K and getting more than you want with used? Builiding from scratch is the most expensive avenue and these thing have SO MUCH SORTING even if it is turnkey. I have owned new and used. Warranties are absolutely useless unless it is a Lexus warrranty. If the builder is not within 15 miles you own the problem. I got so fed up with "approval process" its easier to buy used save $15-20K and do your own repairs for $1K.

That's GREAT to know - thank you! I had thought about Naber's Motors in Belaire, but glad to know there's a place in town that's actually worked on a Cobra.
