ERA 838 started

[Grubby]

838 will be very similar to my last car - 755.

427 S/C;
big front brakes and ERA rear
dual front fans
oil cooler and in line oil thermostat (Improved Racing brand this time)
remote oil filter
rear battery
S/C dash with glovebox
soft top and tonneau
heated seats
Smiths gauges
leather interior
496 side oiler (roller cam, double pumper and aluminum flywheel)
TKO 600
6 pin wheels
USB and cigarette lighter chargers in the glove box and under dash - very useful on road trips
Raydot mirror on Left and I plan to modify the bracket so the door will open with the side curtains installed (standard location won't)

The main items that I really want are a very streetable side oiler; soft top and heated seats.

I am not a fan of TKOs, but there don't seem to be any other good options. The trans will get some type of blue printing before going in. I am leaning towards Liberty Gear.

The first two ERAs were picked by someone else and were certainly not my color choice. This car will most likely be 65 Mustang Poppy Red with Wimbledon white stripes and black interior.

This car will do some long road trips including Route 66 from Chicago to the coast, Hot Rod Power Tour and the 4 corners run. My wife and I love long road trips in fun cars.
