If Tony talks, he will be visited by the "Men in Black."

Jim

PS: He did have access to an original car for measurements, etc., but in the end it is always the "eye of the artist" that captures the shape... and Tony is an artist.

Another work of art from ERA! I think you will have quite a few people interested in the slab side. There are always posts of members asking who makes a slab side. Good luck with the build. I still like my FIA which I say is a slab side on steriods.

Hi Jim,

My car is with Tony right now - when I would talk to him about status, he would make references to "working on a special car" as well. He said he was hoping to get it ready for Carlisle...now I know who's car it is! And you're right, one cannot rush an artist.

My guess is that my car must be next to be completed, right behind yours.

Ray

So, does Tony have some responsibility for the ERA slabside shape? Will he be the person preparing and painting all the ERA slabsides for consistency of the body style? Will your body be used for any slabside produced in the future?
