Steve,

Thanks. I'll probably have some things that you can help me find when the time comes.

I've always found the "wait" and the "build" the most exciting time; planning, scrounging for parts, agonizing over the color and then putting it all together. When it's all done, I go through withdrawal... until I start planning the next one.

So, remember, this can be a wonderful exciting journey. Destinations are important, but the journey is, for me anyway, what it's all about.

Welcome to the world of ERA!

Ahh, he can just wash the paperwork through "Titles Unlimited."

I hear that guy is up for parole this year.

Rod,

I hear that you had quite a time with SB-100 ... we'll see how goes. I probably won't have the car done by the end of the year ... but if the paperwork is far enough along, maybe I can try for January 2010, that wold be nice!

... I pass on 'Titles Unlimited' thank you very much! ...

Jim,

I agree about the journey ... this will be my first car that I have had built, but I have bought and sold quite a few 'old' cars over the years. When I am looking for a car, I like to call it, the thrill of the hunt.

For the Cobra, I have been wanting one for long time. So about a year and a half ago I decided that a replica was the way for me to go. I bought Curt Scott's Cobra buyers guide and read it cover to cover. Then I joined the local Club Cobra chapter and talked to a lot of great guys about their cars and it's really been fun.

I really like the 427 cars, also like the early cars too, so after a lot of looking, decided that ERA has what I am looking for.

Looks like you have just about everything they make ... and your new slab side should complete the fleet. Can't wait to see the pictures!

Regards,

- Tim
