The shop doing my work is Ferrari only and has had more than a few 100 point PB Ferraris in the past. They gave me 3 tiers of plating all involved multiple trips back and forth to the plater, working metal and copper, refitting, etc. The PB option involved splitting the bumper lengthwise, working th...

Wow, big sticker shock today. Got estimates from a very well known restoration shop to rechrome my bumpers. Did paint a year ago and have been driving the car without bumpers for a few years. Decided it was time to put them back on and bring them up visually to the rest of the car. No accident damag...

Anyone have a recommendation as to where to source a pair of 212 mufflers? Also have been watching the rear of my car getting closer to the pavement. The leaf springs are original and the metal seems to be in pretty decent shape considering they are 56 years old. I have been talking to Eaton Detroit...

Tom,

I will be at the track Thurs. and Fri. at the Motion Products tent with my Daytona. Would love to meet you and some of the other guys. Should be a great weekend.

Best,
Mark

Ed, Like most restorations, it seems endless at times. Motor and the rest of the mechanicals are nearly done, but the body is still being painted. Unbelievable how many guide coats go on before before the final paint is sprayed! With any luck it will be ready for reassembly in a month or so, then we...

Tom,

I know I'm interested. Just need someone with the tools and skill to fabricate one properly. Any thoughts or contacts you have would be appreciated.

Terry, Talked to Bill Badurski yesterday about the Air box. No go at this point but am still working on him. He and his partner have got some screens almost finished so at the very least we can keep the bigger stuff out. If any one else out there is looking for velocity stack screens please e-mail B...

Terry, Just finishing MY 1969 S. Sounds like we have similar car tastes! The difference between driving the S and the Daytona is both amazingly different yet equally satisfying. Just need to get my Daytona back together. Wish I could figure out how to upload some images to the site to show you both ...

Terry, I feel your pain! To show off those beautiful velocity stacks and hear that music or save the expensive stuff and maybe make a little more HP? Haven't decided myself. Found a couple of options for screens but nothing that is quite the right fit yet. Bill Badurski was talking about reproducing...

Paul, What you doing with your Daytona? Full restoration or just tweaking the rough areas? Mine is stripped to the bones and am doing some rust repair on the jacking points. I'm in so deep now the only way I break even is if Daytona prices go where they were in the early 90's! Guess I'll have to kee...

Tom, Jason and 330GT,

Thanks for the feed back. Cleaned it up last night, steam cleaned, then some elbow grease with wheel polish. Result is only fair, so I think I will take it apart and chemically strip off the anodizing and re-anodize it. Gone this far with car might as well do it right.

Hi everyone. I've been lurking around the site for the last 6 months while I am restoring my 365GTB/4 and will finally jump in and start participating. A few pictures of my car are posted in the owners gallery for those that are interested. Right now we have the car pretty well stripped and will sta...
