    Skipp - Great post! Reminds me of the 72 Dino I almost bought in 1973 from Santa Barbara dealer but didn't fit in it well and ended up with a 1973.2 911T instead and from then on to a couple years ago thought Ferraris were only for those under 6'. But really wanted the Dino at the time.

    Randy,
    Glad your enjoying the thread and thanks for your story. Being only 5'9 comes in handy if your dream involves the Dino. This particular Dino lived in Santa Barbara for a large portion of its life. It was owned by an airline pilot last name Conger.

    Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login More parts have been arriving and progress is being made. There are so many parts to the suspension, I've missed a few things and had to place more orders. FYI, Superformance orders are making it from England to the East Coast in 3 business days! Very fast.

    Oil hoses and oil temp switch are in.

    I totally get it, but I'm keeping them in a safe place and using modern more functional all clamps.

    Skipper, you are doing real well! It is very nice to see Dino guys getting their hands on the greasy parts.
    Keep it up :)

    Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login The Dino got back on the road today with a brand new suspension. Big difference. Much more planted and direct. We decided to wait for the suspension to "settle" prior to doing the alignment. So, I'll have to do some driving. What a shame !

    I also got to see oil temperature today for the first time since owning the car.

    Skipp - I might suggest an alignment now followed by an alignment check up / tune in xx miles. Given you took everything all apart, it could be really out of whack now and even possibly dangerous.
