Street,
I'll repeat myself from your original post:
"I have total respect for your mania. Your car is a complete knock-out. It is obviously a car that's been 'done right' a comment I've heard often too."

I think my problem is that I have come to appreciate that ERAs have a 'look' of their own, to my eye even more appealing than originals, newer CSX's and KMP's. Meaning no disrespect to those makes or any others. Many are fantastic cars.

An ERA's personality, in my view, comes from the windshield angle, wheel flares and it's stance. The flares are from an original configuration and the 'shield angle only used on some of the smallblock racecars but the uniqueness of the combination makes it an ERA.

I look at your car with envy and think "that's a beautiful ERA". It's actually more visually appealing to me than an original. And to some degree, more than my own. The top, the BRG, the Sunbursts - totally elegant for a brute such as a Cobra. Enjoy your project knowing you've started with a beautiful hand-built sportscar.

I hope I've said better what I'm really thinking.
