    Hey Chris, it was great meeting you today at the Ferrari Finali Mondiali in Daytona.

    Turns out, a genuine SS was parked three cars behind your 348 in the parade lap lineup area. I left you a message and hope you get it in time.

    A quick comparison, looks like you guys are on the money with your end caps.

    Pics from the SS today:

    Well done. Next project: knock off the Kevlar F-40 seats for the SS.

    Really nice work. Great to see the innovation when the parts become unobtainium.

    I appreciate all the kind words.....this project has been quite involving. We were able to check out the end caps on a real Speciale car over the weekend at the Finali Mondiali in Daytona and it's safe to say that our end caps are quite a bit better. The OEM ones appear to be hand finished cast aluminum pieces.....they were pretty much what I expected for the era. Great to finally see them.

    Wade......great meeting you at the Finali....good luck on finding that new TB

    Hey Desmomini....these are YOUR end caps. We're going to work on that hardware package for you this week.

    Carbon fiber seat shells would be great....maybe that should be next.

    I figured you were going to like them. I'm glad you're going to be able to get that car back to the way it should be....

    Going to work on your hardware kit and get these shipped out to you....we confirmed that those inner light covers fit with no need to modify them or anything so you should be all set.

    Cool...those inner light covers are weird...I've been wondering about how it all fits together since I sourced the other NOS items when I got the car 1.5 years ago...it will be SO nice to bring this mystery to a close!

    We did a test fit with my inner covers on our studs....it all fit. Going to try and do a set of studs for the lights next week for you.

    If you need anything during the install....I'll put you on the phone with the guy in the pic...he's the expert on all this stuff. The wizard who hand crafted the end caps.

    Hoping the spacers are going to show up any day now. I'll get an update on Monday from my machinist. They had to make 2 very small changes...then they were going run off 3 sets. Sorry for the delay on them....I wanted to get those last 2 changes made.
