    OK Folks, I'm sorry it's taken me so long to post pictures. Here we go, this will be a body on frame clean up with the idea of bringing the car back to original condition as much as possible within a reasonable budget.

    Looks like a cool project you got going. How long do you figure something like this is going to take to complete?

    The goal is to have the car ready for the 2013 Pittsburgh Grand Prix in July which shouldn't be a problem. NJB Automotive, outside of Columbus OH, is doing the work. They have a very nice operation and they were the closest Ferrari garage to Pittsburgh that I would trust the car with. The car has 64k on it and it still drove great. The compression was low and I felt that this was a great car ready for a new lease on life. So short of doing a "Newman Style" restoration, we're going into the car fairly deep.

    The airbox lid should be crackle finish as well if you are looking for originality.
    I have a 1977 glass car that has been in the family since new, so I am pretty familiar with them.
