I had a flight back to NY on Monday evening, so there was still time to stop by a couple more shops. My first stop was GTO Engineering on La Cienrga Blvd. in Los Angeles. Eric Sander is their lead tech and we probably talk on the phone at least every other week trading information on vendors, sharing techniques for fixing certain cars, or bitching about the stupidity involved with fixing broken Ferraris! GTO is always busy working on the hundreds of Ferraris in the LA area, so it was nice to stop by and say hi.

Even though it was a bit of a drive down from GTO to Oceanside to see Chris Dugan at Dugan Enterprises, I figured what else was I going to do waiting for my flight out on Monday?

Chris has grown quite a bit in the last several years restoring and painting Ferraris, Maseratis, and Lamborghinis. He was spread out over four industrial units employing 10 people to make this all happen.

I can’t imagine the scheduling, ordering, invoicing, and managing of all these cars and manpower.

Chris never seemed to be phased with all that was going on as he showed me shop space after shop space. Thanks for spending the time with me Chris, I know it’s got to crazy to keep all these plates spinning!
