I can not say enough about ERA. The quality of the kit and attention to detail is excellent. The wiring diagram was excellent. Turned the key and everything worked. They answered all my questions and returned all my phone calls, not that I made that many calls. Purchased their FIA car as a roller with the competition brakes, ERA rear, and sway bars. I did the paint and prep myself. As far as custom work all I asked was that they did not cut the holes for the defroster vents as I did not get a heater. They just did a car with computerized traction control, polished aluminum panels computer controlled fuel injection, the works. Not my cup of tea, but that shows you they will build anything you want. Good luck on your decision.

Just to add to everyone else's comments on the quality of ERA's cars. If have found their cars to be outstanding and among the most accurate replicas that are available. In my case, I really want to build an autherntic Big Block car and I chose the ERA 427SC because they were hands down the best manufacturer for what I was trying to do.

I've said it before, ERA is the single best company that I've ever dealt with- regardless of the industry. They make a first class product, the people you deal with are extremely responsive, helpful and knowledgeable about their product. And, as other have said, they are also very flexible and will do as much or as little as you want them to do. Plain and simple, they make a first class product and have the customer service to match.

As for the nitpick, here goes (and I've mentioned this to Bob a few times and I don't think he's changed it yet!)- the nut that goes on the inside rear stud of the driver's side seat is a pain in the ass to get on because you need to squeeze your fingers between the bottom of the floor and the top of the frame rail to get the nut started. If you've taken your seats out, you know what I'm talking about. Other than that, I have no complaints at all.

If I were to do it again, the only thing I would do differently would be to order the ERA rear with the outboard brakes.
