    Just got back from a few hours working on the Dino's fiberglass panels (worst job on the whole car). I was itchy and cranky till I saw TKO's pic of his first drive. What a gorgeous car and wonderful colour combo. I may have to rethink yellow as my choice...

    Congratulations Tom. Enjoy in the best of health and thanks for the reminder of what all this misery is for. Now post some more photos :)

    Best Regards,
    Paul

    Nice combo Dan!

    I need to once again thank Jon Gunderson for his time, experience, tools, and shop space!!!! Also Lars (DinoLasse) made a contribution to this project as he donated a brand new AC control plate. See my original below, it was pretty beat up ... thank you Lars!

    Jon's help must have been invaluable. Impressive work, Jon!
    My own little contribution was not worth mentioning, but very kind of you to do so, anyway.

    The photos are works of arts in themselves. The ones taken from above are particularly striking. The interior is also absolutely perfect. I think you found just the right balance between excitement (rust color) and calm (charcoal grey/black).
    The exterior color is already one of my favorites. One of the most attractive Dinos/color combinations I have seen. Congratulations again!
    Lars

    Just wanted to say how much I admire these cars and your photographs are incredible.

    I pop into these sections to learn about the older cars and admire them.

    That Dino is one of the most beautiful cars I've seen.

    Truly inspirational.

    Thanks for posting the pictures!

    I have to say that I really don't care for red interiors. But those red seats and door panels look absolutely fabulous with that stunning body paint color!

    Tom,

    Thanks for the extra photos. Maybe I shouldn't have asked. Now I'm not only itchy and cranky (still finishing the fiberglass), but also jealous :) Again, awesome car.

    Best Regards,
    Paul

    Tom,

    Steve Kouracos’s shop photo really puts a perspective on your project. It drives home the importance of putting together a highly skilled team that includes contributors, artists, technicians, and others to make a project succeed at the highest levels. You are very fortunate to have a support team with the obvious dedication and resources to keep your dream on the road making the rest of us jealous.

    That is a BEAUTIFUL car, and I think the two tone Daytonas suit it perfectly. Well done, a very inspirational thread,

    Very well I shall wait a few more weeks. It never cease to get a laugh out of how we own these cars yet the people that work on them tell us exactly how and what to do with them. Then again they probably know best :)
