ERA can be the only logical choice. Correctness, detail and structural integrity are known and obvious.
It's clear that you know this because it's what you chose for your personal car.
The main question I think is whether Peter would sell 3 ERA bodies to put on unknown (to him) chassis. The result would not be 'an ERA' and he may wish to protect that.

Chase,
I believe your answer to your "main question" is correct. The bar has been set high, that is for sure. I for one am glad that ERA does not just sell parts and how they work hard to maintain a reference standard with reduced variability. I'm definitely not looking to help figure out how to rebody an ERA.


All,
I'm definitely not one to want to attempt to go into production or to help others to try and compete against faboulous Cobra cars and companies that already exist today. However there are some situations that come up from time to time with friends and colleagues with cars they are building or wrecked cars or chassis-only cars where I scratch my head saying why put a ton of work to heavily modify, flare, or fix a body, why not just start with a great body skin foundation nice right out of the box and custom fit it to the chassis. Is it a lot of work, yes. Less time than fixing an entire body, possibly. Would it be worth it, maybe. ... just a little research project to see what the options are to help out a few friends who've been talking about this gap for the past decade.

Thanks to all for your leads, feedback, emails and private messages. Will be following up soon.
