    I had the pleasure of getting a tour of the restoration work being done on Joe's DD and it is nothing short of brilliant. The workmanship and attention to detail is second to none. Congratulations Joe on what will be a fantastic one of one Countach.

    After finally meeting Joe in person yesterday and seeing his excitement about the project and the process, there is no question he is as passionate as anyone in the hobby and a great resource to the community. We are very fortunate to benefit from your in depth knowledge and generosity. Thanks again.

    I also had the pleasure of meeting Joe yesterday and seeing his beautiful Countach. The restoration work being done is nothing less than spectacular, and Joe is truly a man with a wealth of knowledge of the marque. Cannot wait to see the finished car

    Chris,

    Its so good to meet at last after all the many conversations.

    Unfortunately I do not attend many events, but hopefully we shall meet again at Quail where my family & I will be attending the Pebble Beach weekend, walking around aimlessly, looking for trouble! :)

    Thank you for the kind words, they are appreciated.

    Truly a lesson of restoration! Impressive workmanship and attention to detail throughout the whole project.
    It is really really apreciated that you share with us all those wonderful pictures.

    On the one hand, I can't wait seeing the end result, but on the other hand it is so entertaining that I would love the story to continue forever...

    The only thing I wouldn't do is putting a non original sports exhaust. Even though it made a wonderful noise on my car, I switched back to the original exhaust in order to get the proper sound. On my other classic cars, I always prefer the sound of the original mild steel exhaust even though it is not as durable as a modern stainless steel one.
