Think twice about a fuel cell in a road car.Most do not want fuel with additives added ie petrol pump stuff, and dont like fuel just lying in them for long periods.ie winter.They delaminate.Check with the supplier first.
Your car looks great.

Thanks, Ross! Your car looks great, too! Beautiful job, hope you sell lots and lots. Love the red in your line-up. What red did you base it on?
BTW, I plan to track mine, but won't race it (at least not for awhile). I really want to hear those Webers howl!!! |

Really coming along quite nicely. How is the weather where you are? Is your plan to try to finish it over the winter?

The owner has a red Ferrari and wanted his more or less the same, so its a Hi Tech mix but based on a Rossa Corsa red. White rims will really set it off.
Just found a set of webers for mine ( ex Walt Hayne R mustang I`m told) so will also be joining you on the calibration forums!
Thanks for the wishes. So do I.!!

Jeff,
Your car is looking awesome  and the guys at ERA are making great progress!
I like the black wheels too
Could even go with something similar for my car ... but first I might need to start a thread ... shades of black for FIA wheels, just to keep Rodney on his toes  |

Yes, thank you very much. I have just never heard that expression before. It's never used at the oyster bar; perhaps back in the kitchen.... |

You're definitely not going to get the Latino vote with that remark.
Kinda backs up ERAChas' original remark about the oyster bar. You know...a white vs. blue collar thing. |

Jeff,
Wow … your car looks really great and it sounds awesome! Love the color and all black wheels, a very nice combination ... once again the guys at ERA produce another great car.
Bet you can't wait to get that baby on the road!
Congratulations !!! |

I concur with Peter as well … the Powered by Ford badges are very cool and I would go with them. Are you going with or without Cobra or AC badges on the 'bonnet and boot' ? I believe the FIA cars did not have them, correct?
For 2136 I plan on the fender badges but will pass for the moment on the Cobra badges on the hood and trunk. Would like to use an ERA badge, if they are ever produced. Hope my car is next in the queue |

I'm going to pass on the Cobra logo badges on the front and back. Some FIA/USRRC cars had no badges at all, some had all four badges, and some had just the "Powered by Ford" badges. So any of those three combinations can be claimed to be "correct". I copied the dash of CSX 2557 and 2558: both of those cars had just the "Powered by Ford" badges, so I will probably add them to be consistent. One detail I passed on that all the FIA/URSSC cars had was the bungee cord holes below the trunk handle. Can always add them if I change my mind. |
