The weather loooks like it's going to be great for the weekend. A great opportunity to come out and head for the Berkshire hills, see some old cars and just kick back for a while. Jim

Fran: Any update on the 917 project? Jim PS: After two GTs, it may be time to try and squeeze (literally and figuratively) into a 917.

Eric: I look forward to it. My family recently sold what used to be the family farm on Bulls Head Road (and Willowbrook Rd.). It had been in one branch of the family or another for almost 200 years. Beautiful country (and back roads) to cruise... Nothing like driving "around the block"...

FRP: Great! The MKII is black-same color scheme as the 66 LeMans winner. Jim

Folks: We plan to be at the Vintage Races over Labor Day weekend at Lime Rock Racetrack in Connecticut. We have a couple of RV spaces along the short straight just before the bridge and "downhill." We should have both a MKI ERAGT and MKII Spyder there, weather permitting. There is vintage...

Gary: It was good talking to you about my favorite topic. Covence the spouse that you need a fall foliage tour of New England this fall (and make New Britain and ERA one of the stops). Jim

The shops are always open, OSHA and the insurance companies be damned. You can see virtually everything because they do almost all of it right there; chassis/frames, bodies interiors wiring, etc. ...and then you get to go to lunch with Peter... where else can you have that experience (and...

You might want to call Peter at ERA. He knows where many of the ars are and whether or not the owners want to deal with folks who are "looking." Certainly my best advise is to come east to the ERA shop in New Britain. There are several there in various stages of build and you can see the...

There were several small block roadsters done (raced at Targa Florio, for example, where the poorer aerodynamics were thought to be acceptable in exchange for cooler driver comfort) as well as one MKII (rebody of the X-1 aluminum chassis) that won Sebring. Jim

Jim: I saw the spare engine stand down at Lee's when we were down in NC last year. He fired it up. Most impressive! Thre is nothing like a big V-8 unleashed. Jim

Allan: I have had them done on my ERAGT2077, currently in progress. Jim

Paolo: ERA makes several versions of both the MKI and MKII. The MKII is available as a "spyder" as raced originally at Sebring. See: Era Replica Automobiles' ERA GT, a Ford GT Replica in kit or turn-key Producing any new product, even a variation on an existing produce is, for a small...

Dave: You're quite correct... the old "fly away" Fiero hand brake. Jim

MikeD: I have tried to respond to yur PMs, but I get a message that you "can't be located." (or something). Jim PS: ERAGT's parking brake is standard production Corvette...

MikeD: As you must by now realize, this type of question always illicits a very partisan response. Fortunately, for the consumer, there appear to be several companies out there that produce very respectable products and the odds are that you will have good luck with any one of them. It all...

...and I have as well. Jim

The wheel sizes for the MKI went from narrow (6.5f 8.5r) in 1964 to wide (10f and 14r) on the Gulf cars in 1969. Such was the evolution of tire technology during the 60s. Jim

The MKIIs were heavier and at Daytona, the tops of the front tires actually wore through the top of fenders. The center hatch also opened on hinges from the rear. Hatch openings were also provided for access to the brake/clutch reservoir as well. The MKIIBs had several other changes as...

There are a couple in Europe (and Japan for that matter), but I am not aware of any in the UK. I will check with Peter at ERA the next time I speak with him... he doesn't "do" e-mail. Jim

Can you post a pcture of what the transaxle case will look like? Kim
