I'm In Ct ERA GT#2076. Registered the Car in May 2006. I think timing is everything. I had an inspector who spent 2 hours going over the car and hated everything. From the bumpers to the tires sticking out past wheel wells across the mid-section. I'm talking about 3 o'clock how many cars don't have that issues. Didn't think the defroster was powerful enough. After two hours i thought i was going home with a list of impossible fixes, when he told me i passed. He was now my long lost buddy. His whole demeaner changed. If they go by the book the car will never pass. The bumper problem scared me the most. How would you fix that. He claimed it was noisey but never put a meter to it. I think if you go in there with a well put together car and don't be a jerk you'll get through it. I just kept saying yes sir to his issues. I did speak up about the lack of bumpers. I said isn't going to be my problem if i hit something and damage the nose or the tail. He agreed.
Let me just say my two cents about ERA. As Jim Spoke earlier call ERA talk to Peter better yet stop in and talk to him Great person to talk cars with. I don't know what the current wait time is, but i was sure thankful to be able to run over to ERA, 20 minutes for me, to look at a car in different stages of completetion during my build. Great people to deal with, Expensive but worth it.
