Just get the damn thing done!!!

I don't think I went in any particular order, other than obvious orders of assembly. Just double check everything & re-check after your initial test drives. THe car is coming along nicely, cant wait to see it finished!!

Thanks for the encouragement !


I am starting to make some good progress, three observations so far:

- The engineering and attention to detail that ERA puts into their cars is impressive.

- I am glad that I had ERA do as much of the car as they did.

- I am also glad to have left the final engine & trans install and hook up for me to complete. The exhaust system and installation of the Kirkey seat will probably be the most challenging.

THe assembly was pretty simple. I had them bond the body. Pretty much everything else came in boxes & on pallets. The A-arms were a little tough to get in, but that was mostly due to the powdercoating making a tight fit even tighter.
The exhaust was something that seemed like a bigger deal than it ended up being. I stuck everything together on the car, marked it up with a marker, pulled it off & had a friend weld it all up real nicely. Test fit it & put a finish on the parts & installed.
