I haven't pulled mine off yet but I wouldn't think so. My Upholsterer told me to attach it from the front & pull it over the hoop & snap it down to the body. I think in a warm day you shouldn't have too many problems, but who needs a top on a warm day  The vinyl gets pretty stiff when cold so it may get a little more dificult to attach.

Now I remember your car from before. Is that a turn key? I think it was in the same spot as before...not sure...lots of Cobras in the shop. What does Peter P say?

Yes, turn key. I have not talked to Peter in a while. I have to haul it a long ways and was hoping to get it before winter. Trips up the Alcan Hiway in winter aren't a lot of fun!

That's next week! Doesn't Alaska have only one week of summer? Peter can mount a wood stove inplace of the passanger seat for a heater. Just kidding!!! I love busting on people from Alaska, I guess they don't sell a lot of convertables or air conditioners up there.
Best of luck with your ERA. The quality is second to none along with their customer service.
Where did you find the 295/50/15 snow tires??

With the summer we've been having here on the East Coast this year I imagine the Alaskans are having the last laugh. I often wish I was back there enjoying the 75-85 degree summer heat (roughly June 1 to Sept 1) and humidity that when it is high is easily tolerable! Not to mention the view of Denali (over two hundred miles away) from my backyard! I'd even take the weather we had at Collinson and Nuvagapak Pts (try to find those on your map!) over what we've had here. |

With respect to my posting about the status of several of ERA's cobras; it was my February visit, not the one in May, that I observed the status of those particular serial numbers. Sorry for the mistake.

Ordered mine in January and got it in December. 2097. Took 3 months to assemble and paint (might have taken less but the "shop" was 2-4 hrs. away depending on the traffic). Only thing I'd do differently is roll the edges. Probably keep that car for "life." Have a top for it but never had it installed...this is Florida afterall (year round convertible weather - hurricanes excepted).

MTR...I was at ERA this afternoon for parts & bull and was able to get these pics for you. Help yourself, they are high-quality digital...should blow up pretty good. (They are in my gallery).

Ya...well..., That would be me. I guess I would be excited to be paid to look at Cobra pictures too. Thanks for bursting my bubble.
