STANDARD ERA
SLABSIDE KIT PARTS LIST
($26,900)
Unfortunately, in the kit car industry
there are no "standard
assemblies".
Each company has its own approach to components that they
include,
so a careful comparison of each kit is required. E.R.A.
includes
many, many of the small components that you won't think about until you
find that you lack them in other kits!
Take a
visual
tour of a similar standard FIA kit,
ready to ship!
Compare our components (and whether they are
factory-installed) with the
competition! There is no fabrication or fitting involved when you build
an
ERA, only straightforward installation. As delivered, the basic kit
looks
like a real car, but with the suspension and interior in boxes.
If you've built a kit car before, you know that the
small details are the
most time consuming (and frustrating) part of construction. Those
details
are where ERA shines. Please, compare our car with our competitors! We
are
confident that you will find that an E.R.A. replica is, at the bottom
line,
a bargain in ease of construction and quality of the final product.
Almost all fasteners
are included in the standard
kit. This will save you lots of time and money.
