    Jay, Great story. Took me nearly as long to read as my restoration. Fabulous machine, thanks.

    Great looking GT4, as always, Jay... Probably the best yellow one in existence. :)

    I love the look of those wrapped headers - that gives me some thoughts for my late-winter upgrades/repairs/mods.

    One question: What's the story behind the chrome (at least they look chrome(ish)) surrounds on your side markers? On my 79, those pieces are black. I don't think I've ever seen anything different before, until yours. I think it goes really nicely with the rest of the brightwork on the car.

    You noticed! I swapped them out, same as a Fiat. I think it was an 850?

    All thanks to Rock at Rock's Auto.

    Buying a 35 year old Ferrari...$14 500
    Taking four years to rebuild the mechanical's....Don't ask :)!
    Turn the key and drive...Priceless.

    A wise man once told me: "Stop spending money on toys and buy the real thing!" So I listened to him. I can't reveal who this wise man was...

    Must be nice living in Cali...
