Chassis number received!

[cscobra]

Thank you all for the warm welcome and the great comments--sounds like I need to talk with Peter about having ERA bond the body!

I have 3.31 gears (with Power-Lok) in the final drive. Even with the 1:1 fourth gear in the toploader, I should still run about 3000-3100 rpm at 70 with my tall, skinny tires--not too bad. I don´t plan to ever seriously track the car, especially without a rollover bar.

Can´t wait for the build!

cscobra I run 3.31 gears and with the overdrive can turn 70 mph at 2,200 rpms give or take 100 or so. The 5 spds are not cheap but at gas going to $5.00 per gallon, you could pay off and over drive trans in 15,000 miles. It also saves the wear and tear on the motor. Just a thought. Rick L.

Clay, sorry to be so tardy responding to your question .. I've been tearing my clutch down .. trying to figure out why it doesn't Appears torque monster FE and organic disc is a bad choice ..

Anyway .. #745 is 2007 Viper Silver with 2007 Viper Red stripes.

Good advice from other ERA owners on the bonding. If you are going to use a local painter, then I'd do it like ERA does it up to the point they send it to paint: powder coat frame, bond and rivet on the body, then send to paint as a bonded unit on dolly wheels. That way the aluminum panels don't go on till after paint. So have them ship it to you the way they ship it to the CT paint shops.

There will still be plenty of craft work in installing the aluminum panels I went further and had it made as a full painted roller. It just doesn't cost that much more in the big scheme.

Congratulations on getting your chassis number. I know the feeling as my chassis number is 768. Peter said I should have my car in early September. My son and I are going up to see the car just prior to them shipping it.

Enjoy.
