...and were you to time things for the 18th at say 1:00 pm or so, there could be food. That is if the grinch hasn't stolen Christmas.

Heated Seats? WTF?? I've drove to ERA in 19 degree weather last January, and the only thing that froze was my bald head (with top up).

Having recently moved from Hawaii and now currently freezing my azz off, suddenly, heated seats don't sound so bad...

If they're still using greasable front u-joints on the drive shaft, ask Bob if he's come up with the trap door to make it accessible. With the outboard braked rear, you really can't get to it from beneath.

I can't address the heated seat issue as my lard a$$ contains plenty of BTU on its own but as to the need for a heater in Florida....get it! No one has mentioned its primary purpose in Florida---drying out the interior on the way home after getting caught in a Florida monsoon after you left the house and forgot the top. Don't ask me how I know.

Another reason to keep the interior bare for now.

Wow, what a flash of understanding that was John!!! You make a strong case for a heater in HAWAII, having been caught in a few down pours their myself...

But that was then, this is now, I need heated seats, defroster, heater, soft top, the whole nine yards. And not to dry out, to keep freakin' warm!

I had a great trip up to ERA on Thursday, but d**n it was cold.

Pics Here

There are some pics of the slabside on there, also Murray #781 picking up his 427, and some pics from CT Custom. #783 gets painted after the 1st.

Great pictures. Hoped there might be a glimpse of #782 in there. It's a street roadster version that is ready to ship. I think that is the day I called Peter and he said they were loading a car outside and it was about 5 deg. He said I saved his life by calling him and giving him an excuse to come in.

a lot of us that ride motorcycles wear heated vest that gets plugged in, keeps the torso warm thus the rest of the body. Minimal wiring and the same type of plug used for battery chargers, easy to hide.

I got the heater installed from ERA however I do not have it connected, so far no need for the vest or the heat yet.

After reading these threads for several months now, I decided it was about time to make my first post. Hopefully I will be getting an ERA in the next several years, but this is not about me, this is about your questions. You have talked about the seat heater issue, and living in Phoenix, I understand your debate to get them or not. We recently rented a Cadillac and it had heated/cooling seats. I did some research on this subject and found the company that makes these devices is Amerigon. I haven't heard if they will sell to the general public or if they only sell to major car companies, but I figured it's a good place to start.

Obviously A/C wouldn't make any sense with this kind of car, but this little device would cool your seat while you are in it and can switch to a heater as well. You could use one of those on-off-on switches to determine if you want the device to cool or heat your seat. This would make those hot days in Florida more manageable and keep your wife happy at the same time.

I had a great suggestion about using heating seats, but it was my first post and it looks like a moderator needs to approve it or something. How do I send a message to mod's here?
