    Thanks Jon for the kind words and thanks for providing your Dino as a canvas for my paint. I also wanted thank my good friend Tony Bird for coming to the shop to share his talent and for taking these beautiful photos. Now, enjoy your Dino! BTW, as you pulled away from the shop the Tubi Exhaust sounded great!

    the front and rear blacked out area are very restrained compared to later versions. when did this change occur?

    The blacked out areas were determined by the owner to his personal tastes and are not historically correct.

    Lovely, Jon, and great work! And wonderful photographs. They make it very clear to me that the Dino is certainly one of the most beautiful cars ever.

    Congratulations!

    Jon,

    Hope I'm not too late to offer my congratulations as well. Gorgeous car (I might be biased :) ) in one of my favourite colour combos. Drive her in the best of health.

    Kind Regards,
    Paul

    Jon, Congratulation! I am grateful you involved me to be apart of this project. Thank you for the jump start and trust back into my trade. I will never forget your smile that you had on your face when you left the shop.
    When will you be starting a thread on your 206? We can't wait.

    Good luck Jon.

    Disassembled my DINO in 1974 and still have it scattered over three Garages, still not sure I will ever get it back together before I pass on?
    I will watch your progress and photos for inspiration! Might get the blood flowing again!

    Hallo John,i have seen the work you made to restore this very very beautiful car thath i love and i am stunning .I have never seen a restore so meticolous ,perfect ,total and so clearly documented as you did , i think you are able to do something like masterpieces,i think a professional probably does not spend so much time and so much love to do what you did,only a true lover of this car can do it as you.Very well very well ,congratulations

    P.S. in 1979 i had a Dino 246 GT silver m.y.1970 and in 1980 i sold it(thath was the most stupid thing i did in my life)
    Some years later i buyed a 308 GT 4 but i will never sell my Ferrari even if it is not a 246. Someone says: ferraris are to buy and not to sell!!
