I believe there is at least one more ERA that is in the works or recently finished that has the Kirkham cans as well.

Wow! Just saw the pictures!
It looks even better than the pics at ERA. The colour looks great. The black hoop looks great! The boot - OK trunk - looks great! Under-hood looks sensational!
I'm thinking of emmigrating so I can have one delivered looking like that!
Cheers Tim,
Glen

Glen,
Thanks ... ERA does an amazing job and the body work & paint job by Connecticut Custom is beautiful. More to come as the car progresses.  |

Congratulations!
The shape of the coaming around the cockpit of your car looks exceptional to me. The guys doing the body work don’t always spend enough time to get the thickness and shape just right – very, very nice indeed. I’m looking forward to seeing more of this one.

Congrats tkb289,
Simply stunning!
Love the street look without the oil cooler opening and the underside of that hood (bonnet) is like a mirror!
I'm sure you can't wait for the first drive. Have fun with the build.
All the best,
289FIA |

Congratulations on receiving your long awaited ERA. It really does look terrific and glad to see it made the journey home safely.
You can tell us - how many times now do you make an excuse to go into the garage just to look?

Just got off the phone with Tim; he drove up this morning to get his engine (can you say impatient???  )
It's now at his home with tranny bell housing already installed. Guess it won't be long now before we lower it into the ERA.! |

Thanks guys
The whole family really likes the car ... (especially me, imagine that) and yes to be honest, I have spent some 'extra' time in the garage ... it's fun to just look at it.
Picked up the motor today from Tom at FE Specialties, brought it home along with a few more boxes of parts. Next step will be to make sure I have all the parts I need and set up a time with the boys to drop in the motor and trans.
My guess is the motor and trans will very likely go in pretty easily, hooking everything else up will probably take a bit more time ... looking forward to it ! |

All ears/eyes are on this space, Tim!
Wolf's build aside, there's not much a-happening specific to ERAs on ClubCobra at the moment - unless you count in a bit of excitement about tee-shirts - so, you have our full attention. 
Cheers,
Glen |

She's a real beauty Tim! I can't wait to see what she looks like all finished up and ready for the road.

Thanks Buzz !
Let me go off topic for just a moment ...
As has been said on this forum many times, you come for the cars, but it's the people that make the place.
Case in point, about 6 weeks ago I was on vacation with my family in the Caribbean. One of the islands we visited was St Lucia, a lush tropical island with banana plantations, groves of fruit trees and very friendly people. Well when I found out we would be visiting St. Lucia, I knew that I needed to look up Buzz. We were able to meet Buzz and his lovely wife for a little over an hour and talk about Cobras, the Caribbean and California.
... A beer with Buzz in St. Lucia ... priceless |

it was priceless Tim! We had a brief time with you and your family but it was time really well spent. Our Cobras bring us a lot of joy but one of the greatest parts of the whole experience is meeting new friends and growing the extended Cobra family.
It was easy to see how much you were looking forward to taking delivery, so I can just imagine how you are feeling right now. Congratulations again on putting together one awesome Cobra!
