TKB:
The wheels are 6" (as original) chrome wire wheels both front and rear. Tire size is 15"x 215/70.
I am using the standard ERA Jag rear iinboard rear brake setup, albeit, with track narrowed 1". I don't know if the out board brake ERA rear could be similarly modified to fit, but have found that if you waterboard Bob Putnam enough he can usually find a way to accomplish things.
It will have undercar exhaust.
Jim
PS: The motor went in yesterday and the trans, etc is due to go in today.

Of course that will require more pics. Shoot them to me in an email and they will magically appear on this thread....  |

Era 289 ss
Jim -
Looks FANTASTIC. Boy, if I wasn't retired...I'd be right in line behind you for one of those babies. I always thought
a nice, quiet, subtle slab-side would make a nice garage-mate for my fire-belching, piped & striped FIA.
Keep up the good work!
regards,
Jeff

Another beautiful job from ERA
Jim Holden That's one sharp car, hope you can get it to Kit Car show in Carlisle. Even if it is not done. Any Chance of a Westlake small block ending up in this car with webers??  Are you going with a rollbar or hood scoop? I like the way it looks in the pictures already. If you can get Peter to pay a little overtime, I am sure that Doug and the guys will have it ready. Is there any money in the overtime account, that's the question. If you watch TV, Foose builds a complete car in a week.   ERA has a great crew, they will get it done. I have not seen them fail yet. Jimyou are going to need another car lift in the garage for this one. Hope everything else is OK. Hope to see you in 2 weeks. Rick L. |

It's amazing what you can get out of them if you just tell them what you want and then throw money at them. And BTW, Jim H. is the overtime account.  |

Thanks guys for the positive response to my latest lunacy.
Pictures when I can get them!
Rick, the car will not have scoops, a roll bar, Webers, etc. I am attempting to (at least visually) make it as close to the way the small blocks came off the boat from AC 45 years ago. As Jeff has suggested, my attempt here is to have this alongside my FIA, one lean and the other mean.
The goal is Carlisle (along with my ERAGT2077), but it will be a thrash and OT bribes, etc. alone wont do it. The boyz need to be inspired! (...and I think they are by this little project). So, time will tell.
Jim
PS: ...and Jeff, maybe you need to unretire for awhile...

Absolutely beautiful Jim! ERA could have another winner on their hands...like they're not busy enough. 
And if anyone buys a slabside and tries to put a roll bar in it....well ERA should just refuse to sell the car to them.
