ERA Wannabe
Need some advice from the ERA group here. I have owned a 57 Thunderbird for the last 4 years and am considering selling it to fund an ERA 289 FIA. My question is this - I don't have a lot of experience with the major mechanical components of cars (i.e. engien, transmission, etc.). I can do basic maintenance and am good with shop manuals and reference materials. Considering all of this, is it realistic for me to complete a build on an ERA car? Most of the info I have seen says the work is of the "wrench-turning" type, but I want to get some advice before I get too enamored with this project. I'm especially interested to hear from people that have done their own builds. Thanks in advance for the input.
