    Picked up leather to make a new pouch for the tool kit. Next week I will have an embossing tool made so the reproduction will be as close as possible.

    I really admire Verde Germoglio. It is a fantastic exiting color and it was high on my list for my Dino, but I chickened out in last minute. Take care trying to replicate the text on the air intake boxes. It is a difficult job and I have never seen it done successfully. I have decided not to mess with the text om my air boxes since they still appear very well and yours doesn't look bad either. On the other hand, I know your skills within the graphic industry, so I assume you might take up the challenge...:)

    Nope the original color was red/tan but I was compelled to do a color scheme that was more in line with the 70's, when the car was originally designed. I felt Verde with black/red interior was more fitting to this time period.

    Peter it was a hard decision and a few times I thought I was going to go with black but I in the end I figured, why not.

    Here are a few pieces that were finished last week. Paul your stencils were tough to work with but the air boxes look better then they did before I used them. thanks for making them available.

    We decided to ceramic coat the exhaust. I know its not factory but its the best way to manage heat and keep the exhaust clean and protected.

    Well we broke the factory windshield and had to run with the aftermarket backup one we had. It did not have a black edge which wasn't optimal so we masked and sprayed the required edge, I hope it sticks, bad news no antenna and not factory, good news is its new and fresh.

    I couldn't find a paint sticker that had the new color of the car, plus the existing sticker was destroyed. I created new art and printed a bunch on aluminum, will be a nice finishing touch I think.I also printed the unleaded gasoline sticker as well.

    Wow. Really admire the color and admire your gonads for doing the car the way your want. Speedzone very busy nowadays, justifiably so. John.
