ERA import to Canada

So I was looking around on the ERA website to get some answers but there was very few I could find for getting a kit up north. FFR and Nevada Classics have info but not ERA. I have been wanting a beautiful ERA kit for a long while over the other guys in FFR due to being no comparison for resale and quality. I'm patient and will wait a year or more to get my ERA that's no problem.
I find the guys at ERA got it figured out and know their product is superior above everyone else and I tend to agree 100%. But to get a kit to Canada does ERA got experience getting a kit over the border and if so, are there any options that aren't allowed for those that have done it possibly? From what I hear driveline being one of them obviously, fuel system and suspension being another. Many of these things are easily bought afterwards from source in canada or in the US. Any info would be helpful! I know the ERA website does address some of the import stuff but was very limited, another link forwards me to EU import information but not Canadian.
Any Canucks willing to pm me the details? I could always call the guys at ERA but don't want to waste there time in my researching.

You are going to have to buy a pallet body and chassis from ERA

Everything else (you can buy their trim and wiring package as well along with the pallet body and raw chassis) must be purchased and imported separately.

A call to them will get you all of the details

Or you could buy a 15 year old (or is it 20?) completed ERA car from the states. If you are interested in this option, I have just what you may need.

Cobras need to be a minimum of 15 years old for importation into Canada. So, anything with documented proof of completion in 2001 or earlier is eligible this year. It doesn't matter what it says on the title, there needs to be proof of the year the car was completed - usually vehicle registration information, issuance of title, MSO, etc.

For my car, completed in 1991 and purchased in Connecticut in 2014, we discovered Michigan purges their records after 10 years - so unable to turn up proof via search. To make a very long story short, I obtained a letter from the Michigan Secretary of State describing how the date of issue was encoded in the VIN - the Canadian authorities accepted that as proof of completion. Don't ask how I got that letter, but it had something to do with a first-born male child...
