Hi David,

Don't mail those gauges just yet! I've got some new developments, and should have some better information in a day or two. Stay tuned!

D&M is still my #1 choice, but I'm working on saving us some money. Let me talk to Mike tomorrow, and I'll let you know what's going on.

Hi Guys, I just spoke with Mike at D&M Restorations and he can remake all plastic lenses from scratch, and silkscreen the characters on the new plastic. It won't be cheap at about $800 bucks! This is for the inserts only, because I'll install them. I'd be curious what Palo Alto charges. Mike claims ...

Ferrari Parts

Hi All, I received a phone call the other day from a Dino Ciaburri. He is currently trying to liquidate a collection of Ferrari parts. I am sad to say these parts used to be owned by Jerry Curtis from Newtown, Connecticut. I've mentioned Jerry several times on this site, and he supplied me with the ...

Hi Jim, Welcome to my website! A lot of Vintage Ferrari owners stop by this site, so you will get a lot of "real world" advice in owning one of these cars. Don't listen to what the journalists write. I always am amazed how their ten minute drive in a car can offer an impression that lasts an eternit...

Hi All, I DO believe Ferraris can be reliable, as long as the owner takes the time to make sure it's well sorted. Rebuilding the engines may not have happened with the customer cars, but I will confirm with Francois what the factory did with their GP cars. The deferred maintenance is what I am conce...

In our conversation, Yale wanted to know why then were Ferraris considered durable in races. I reminded him that most race cars are rebuilt before and after a race, and the Ferraris were considered reliable compared to the oter cars. I believe the same goes for a street driven Ferrari. If all the me...

Hi Ed,

I found a latex foam supplier that sold me a mattress that had the same "feel" as the original seats which I cut up, and formed into shape.
