    Question: Do the carbs have the trumpets fitted on when the air filter housings are in place? I have a set of them for my next scale model countach & was going to mount them without the air filters...

    These air horns are mounted inside the air cleaner housing. When you take off the light grey cover with the thumb bolts, you see these inside the black housing. In this photo they are just set loose in place. The small bolts that hold these trumpets in place also secure the air filter housing to the carb body, the sheet metal is sandwiched between the carb and the stack.

    Thanks! I am also considering building a stand alone engine to display next to the cars...maybe I will use the trumpets on that instead

    Nice seat insert perforations Alberto.

    I think this type of effort is the highest mark of respect to to the original artisans. Claearly you are not a man who half-a$$es anything. I can relate, and I salute your efforts. Perfecto.

    Sweet.... hard to tell on the pics, are the wheels Gold or Silver..?

    Is that window tint on the windows?

    Are those the correct mirror's for the car, I thought they need to be Flag style mirrior's?

    I am glad I deleted the USA rear side light markers from my S2..

    Just LOVE a Black Low Body car...just say's TRY ME!

    Thanks, Joe, you are right. I had the seats and tunnel redone last year, but they were not perfect so, after many time spent in search, i finally found two guys that were formers Paratelli's workers, the firm that did almost all Countach OEM interiors.

    At first i asked them to rebuild the cockpit skin: they did an amazing work so i told them to rebuild all lower parts too (seats, tunnel, a/c dashboard, speakers covers), despite they were just rebuilt. The rest of the OEM skin is still in very good conditions (door panels, roof rods, backside of driver's cabin) so i kept them as they are.

    Those two guys are a bit expensive, but they worth the money spent.

    ciao
