    Well, how times change...

    A long time ago with my suggestion of installing a V8, I was basically called a heretic
    and to buy a Corvette. No matter, really.
    Same with my USA turn signal and side marker delete.
    Brian is right, a Dino is a thousands production numbers, whereas a SF ought to be respected 100%.

    I fully agree, it is your car, you do what you wish, within reason, e.g. Cow fur on the seats, or... longhorns on the hood...:)

    Regards, Alberto

    Wow, interesting thread. The guy who sent you the email is an idiot—- he has no idea who you are and what you have done. I had Dugan put the original smog pump back on my Dino— happy it was saved! And no, I don’t have my car back yet but should be soon— will bring in the Boxer for some work at that time.

    What a shame. Anytime you finish a Dino that the haters disapprove of, I'll spare you the embarrassment and gladly take it away. Free of charge! ;)

    Seriously though, I've just joined the forum because of this subgroup and thread. I DO currently own a Dino. It's a yellow Hot Wheels 1:18 scale 1998 edition, made in China. I can only dream.........................................Jeff

    The car is at the metal shop. I decided on a total euro look, so filling in all the sidelights and changing the front indicator lights to Euro. Thats a big job! The chrome is is Houston and I should get it back in a few more weeks. All the cad plating is in LA and that should be back in a couple of weeks. The black oxide is in San Marcos, Ca and it should be back soon. The column switch is out being rebuilt in Sonoma, Ca and the gauges are also out in Calif. Everything that is getting powder coated is in Liberty Hill, Texas. New parts are arriving daily and soon as plating etc comes back I can rebuild parts. I'm deciding on either Grigio Ferro with red interior and black carpeting or Azzurro Metallizzato with tan and black carpeting. The car is scheduled to go to the painter the first week of August. He should have it about 4 months.

    All the metal work is finished. I deleted all USA lights and molded in Euro front indicator lights. Just like the car was originally designed. Next is fitting the rubber seals to make sure everything opens and closes correctly, then off to the paint shop for Grigio Ferro Mettallizzato.

    Jon introduced me to Brad, and I have to say, he is pretty Bad *ss.

    Clearly a car guy, but also someone who loves what he does and appreciates how he can utilize his talents to a crazy cause.
