    Hi Jon

    Whilst you are replacing your brake servo could you look at your heaters for me, it would be much appreciated .

    I,m trying to work out my heater route I have two heater boxes like you, but according to the diagram in the book, the 5/8 hose from the engine goes to the water heater valve coming down the right sill.

    In your pictures you have got a t piece from the main radiator hose going to the right hand heater box (I think).

    If you look at the heater thread ,John,s explained his route which seem to fit what the book says.

    Maybe I'm a little slow (only 2 cups of coffee this morning), but did you post the web site name?

    Looks good so far. More I think of organization, your sequence worked out pretty well. Don't see many places where you could have, or should have, gone another way coming apart or going back together. A table that would be usefull is something like this:
    Fuel tanks out 0001-0020
    Heaters out 0021-0024
    etc.
    Then allow jump to relevent pictures.
    Pictures should be full screen whatever that might be and sharpened for that pixel count. Wide screeen monitors and HDTV standards are something to think of. You will need to add a navigation overlay somewhere or add a dedicated navigation area. 1000 to 1900 pixels wide are now typical. Vertical runs from 700 to 1000 so navigation could be on sides while keeping camera 4 x 3 ratio.

    1500 photos - wow, lots of hard work documenting it! At first it seems like a lot, but then again when we have been seeing them on a weekly basis it is more easily digested.


    I can think of two ways to organize www.dinorestoration.com

    1) In the sequence that you performed the work

    2) Organized by TAV or subject area.
    I think there will be a big need for Dino guys doing work on a specific area (e.g. suspension, clutch, cooling, etc.) that will want to easily locate your photos as a reference to help them do their work.


    I also see that Jeff has reserved a new area on www.dinorestoration.com for the future project, keep up the hard work!

    We picked up the Dino from Cavallo Motorsports today after alignment. What a difference. The car handles beautifully. The carpet and seat inserts were not in the order GT parts got today from Italy so we are going a different route. Auto International in Escondido is making the carpet pieces per my patterns and will have in a few days for me. Also going to make the seat inserts for me in the next week..I've been sweating that out because I want to get the car one for Bella Italia. Tomorrow we start our punch list/ A few photos from todays drive.

    I'll be there for sure, not to win anything, just to have a good time checking out all the Ferrari's, Lambos and Italian motorcycles. You NEED to bring your Miura!!! and let everyone hear the music. I'm looking forward to seeing Corbani's well driven Dino, when I saw his blue I knew that was the direction I was going. I have free Dino tee shirts for whoever wants one and free black satin Dino seat covers and steering wheel cover with Dino logo for all who bring their Dino's.

    Jon,
    Great color! The black one was nice but this just glows. Looks like the ride height is coming down slowly but surely. Too bad about the seats but You have done miracles before. What are a few more? See you in a couple of weeks.

    It seems a little strange to say this, but this might be my favorite car of all time. It is just so gorgeous. There is something about those yellow headlights with the blue body that I am really digging.

    Beautiful Job........
    caster and camber looks great....I know about the new springs, but that baby is sitting High....will the wheel angles change when she drops, If she drops...it might take 40,000 miles for that to happen...I am sure you will figure a way to compress them, an inch or two...

    Congratulations, thats a piece to Behod!!

    I'll have a better one for you when it's done (well i hear it's NEVER really done) but shortly done enough. Eyes are blurry from sorting pictures into TAV's. I'm almost half way with that. Jeff's working hard on getting the website up. May take a while.

    High likelihood that I will bring it. A Dino shirt would be a good incentive to do so :). I look forward to seeing you there.
