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!

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
