Thanks so much for all the great photos, it is really nice for the younger guys to see these kinds of photos, again, thanks for all of you're time and effort you have put into this!
Just to keep this great thread going, here are some of 0392AM: In my garage with 5909, during resto down under (Kerry Manolas pix), and at Laguna Seca with Hill and Fangio. One of the greatest loud Ferraris of all time---a real ground-shaker. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login

I recall receiving several faxes from Kerry when he was trying to find parts for the resto. 1984/5? He was looking for some major pieces if memory serves me right. Nice photos. David
Hi Ed, Thanks for these pictures. Though these are very real, to me they are like snapshots from the Land of Oz. That car dolly in the third photo is a historical piece in itself. john
Here's a couple more taken a the time: http://autorestorations.co.nz/our-work/Classic-cars/restored/Ferrari-375-Plus.htm
So there are no period pictures available? pollux06: Will you post pictures of that diorama? - it must be very impressive. Till.
This is not ego-driven, but Steve's remark calls for an answer. I used to harbor dreams of putting some of my old tales together with some new ones, and some of my pix, to make a book. However, many people who have done a book have told me that they almost never made any money out the venture, as the market is pretty slim. We may be strong as enthusiasts, but we are not strong in numbers. As i am still working, I have to use my time to best advantage, and assembling a book no longer seems to be a good use of time. So, at this point, it is not looking feasible. Heck, many of you have already read most of them anyway. BUT, if anyone out there has the expertise to publish and market (things I know zero about) feel free to PM me. I'll keep an open mind. Oh, and Steve has his own idea whcih may come to light some day, I hope.
