Many
New Changes!
The
second body out of the mold. We've moved the manufacture of
the main
body shell back to our factory to insure quality.
It's all hand-laid now too.
We
use a spray-on release for the first few bodies - until the mold is
broken in.
Later, the finish will be even smoother than this.
| The
new body doesn't
have the flange under the rocker, the front flares are
slightly different, and some of the assymetry has
been removed. We left a little for originality.  Most of the
differences are under the skin though. (See below)
Lots
more
aluminum, more interior room, and several original-look
engine
compartment changes. |  |

The
mold break lines are very small, even, and easy to smooth. |

| Can I
update my older ERA?Sorry,
but because there are so many changes that are "integrated" with the
other updates, none of the changes are practically applicable to an
older chassis.
