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?

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!

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...

Hi Mike,

Good luck on the 330!

I don't think you're being corny at all! I know I've definitely made my mark on #5053, and it may very well carry this mark longer than I will be around!

Hi Mike, There is a small boxed section that runs along the length of the rocker that we used to weld to. Having this makes the anchor stonger considering the sheet metal the previous owner used to repair the rocker was not very thick. With the carpeting installed, we shouldn't see a thing. Thanks f...

Hi Ade,

Mike has been a invaluable help with those seatbelt anchors, but I warned him about doing too good of a job because of all the other projects I'll have lined up for him and his shop!

To think some people did buy these 2+2 cars at the $150K+ level! The 80s were a crazy time with uneducated investors driving up the prices of every type of car. I don't think this will happen again, but the Real Estate Market seems to be doing the same thing again today! The reasons have changed, bu...
