Dino Restoration

Jon - back in 1993 I saved my house by standing on the roof for 24 hours hosing the embers and flames. All the houses around me burned to the ground. We lost 300 homes here in Laguna.

I wish you would get your hose out and put out that fire, the smoke up here a few miles away is killing me. I do hope that your home was not involved. Some friends in Rancho Santa Fe had to evacuate. I do not yet know whether their home is still standing.

First, glad you're all safe. Second, glad that Dino wasn't roasted. That would have been unfathomable, and I suspect would have driven a couple dozen guys into severe withdrawl, and there's no methadone maintenance replacement therapy for this thread!

 

Jon,
Great to hear you are back home. How did the new home make out? You have thousands of Ferrari owners rooting for you and your family. Keep us up to date. Please! Best regards,
John

 

Jon,

I am glad that you and your Family are safe. That's all that matters in this World.

Cheers


Pietro

 

Doesn't get much closer than that, glad to see everything is ok.

 

Somebody upstairs wants you to keep on the good work!

 

John, You have got to be the luckiest man out there, Did you go to church that day????

 

That is some incredable luck, did you allways keep the brush around your homes at bay just as general practice, because if it was your landscaper you owe him a BIG bonus after this is all sorted out...

It's great to see that your safe and that your properties are also safe... But is there smoke damage? those fires where pretty big I wonder if your whole housde smells like smoke or just like you had a nice fireplace fire going in the house?

 

Jon
Great to see you and yours are safe and well.
You deserve the luck and I am sure that many on here feel like me that we are lucky too in that you can continue your saga!
Keep up the good work
Best wishes
Dave

 

Jon & Family,

I'm so relieved that you folks dodged that horrible fire laden torpedo. Maybe Enzo reached down to push a flying red ember off target. Thank God

Cheers (bitter sweet, albiet),

Hank

 

At least you were around to take care of things and not on vacation! I am glad to see that your house survived. I am still trying to track down some other PCA / FCA members in the area to see how they are. Andrew

 

An oldie but a goodie (post 1136 03/24/07).

First, glad to see that you and yours are all well after the fires.

If you don't mind my asking, how did you do the Ferrari shield on your epoxied floor? What a great look!

Al

 

Yeah that's looks good. Close call with the house jeesh. You're very fortunate.

 

Jon,

Absolutely stunning!!! Beautiful!!

A couple of quick questions, if you don't mind.

1) Who did/does your chrome work?

2) What spray adheasive are you using for the leather work?

Thanks!

3M has good adhesive for upholstery, perhaps the 3M marked "80" is best, you can find at Home Depot

 

Should the gas panel interior area be black ?


Is the gas cap from the F360?

 

Can't wait to hear the engine run, is there a way you can record it firing up for us to hear?

Great job you WILL have a better than new car when you are done here...

 

Jon, Are those white nylon targa top locating lugs readily available?
