Hi Tom (Wilson),

I have no idea how many registered users on this forum have GTEs. I do know that you rarely see ANY on the road. I can count on one hand how many I know are roadworthy in the NYC area!

Hi Ruedi, No apologies needed! I just hope a bunch of us Ferrari fans can help! I'm assuming you've gone to the Alfa clubs, or contacted the club presidents for advice? They usually know, or know who to call for that kind of information, especially if they do Concours judging. If you know specifical...

Rob:
I'd be very curious what the response is to your questions about cost!

Andrew:
I think if that is the probable breakdown of GTEs in the world, I would be safe to say that my 330 America is one of two or three that are currently registered, and driveable!

Here's an image of the belt in question. Look familier to anyone?

E-mail me the picture, and I'll see what I can do, unless you have server space in the internet.

Hi Steve, "Re-made," meaning using old ansa cans, and welding new pipes? If it it is that far off, I'd have the person who made it fix the problem! If sending it back is out of the question, you can shrink the end of the tube at a well equipped muffler shop. They'll have a machine that squeezes the ...

If you can post a picture of the male portion of the belt, maybe someone will recognize it. Let me know if you need help posting the picture.

Hi Tim and Jon,

A couple of years ago I saw Tim's car parked at Laguna Seca, and I missed Jon by a half an hour at Concorso, but I hope we get a chance to meet this year durinng Monterey Weekend! I'm making plans to come out.

Hi Rob, I used to be involved with Porshce Club for the Driver's Ed events, but at half the price for membership, it was easy to justify. Their local newsletter, AND National monthly magazine is a much deal. In Dallas, I can imagine the Tifosi to be hard to find, but in NY, there are plenty of us to...

Hi Rob,

Point well taken. My problem is what are you actually getting for $100+ dollars if it's expected that we do the work?

Tom

Hi Todd,

I guess my biggest problem is the lack of enthusiasm for the Vintage stuff in FCA, but I guess there are always going to more guys with the newer stuff. (new being younger than '72!) It's also alot of money to join a club that doesn't have much to offer the Vintage owner.

Hi Mike,

My windshield moulding was chromed bronze, so fixing the scratches was not so simple.

Hi Luke,

I'm having enough trouble writing non-fiction! The book will probably be less a restoration guide and more of a story about my restoration. That's provided if I can actually do it!

Tom

You read my mind! The grille is the next big project. Stay tuned!

Tom

Hi Luke, Thanks for sharing your experience. I too feel that the $$$ FCA membership seems to offer more "wine and cheese" than real gear head activity, especially for the owners of older Ferraris. I'd be curious to hear if you decide to renew. I feel, however, that future restorers WILL hack into th...
