is that 1 big gigantic house??? if so, what do you do for a living. i wana grow up to be just like you
Thanks! Its one home, about 3,000 Sq Ft. I own a Automotive Transport company, I also do body work on the side, restore cars, and just about anything else I can do to make money.
Here is a quick video of the car starting. I made this video to show the gauges and warning lights working. Also you can hear the new gear reduction starter.
Today, we installed the carpet. Its almost done but still needs some trimming. We also added a map cover with a Ferrari emblem. Finally we started the wiring on the auto-dim compass rear view mirror.
Today, I got the car out and washed and waxed it. It had been stuck in the garage for months. Also my friend stopped by with his 512bb replica, powered by and ZZ430 with a 6-Speed F40 transmission. It was a nice day of talking cars and eating hamburgers.
Great pics, Chris!! If someone didn't know better they look like still shots from an episode of Miami Vice. No, not calling ya a drug dealer....just sayin' it for all of the exotics. Thought I'd clear that up before some one says something.

one of the best reads ever..nice job with the write up and pics.
Thanks!! If you enjoy this, then read this. Its the WHOLE story from when I first started all the way through to today. You must join the forum to see the early photos however.

I dont see any exotics, I just see a couple of 1980's Ponitac's and a few year old Mercedes. LoL!!
Looks like a dry day. I was just in SanFran on Wednesday, the skies were just clearing up. Maybe when I get my Fiero-arri mutt back on the road we can all join up for a run. You'll probably still have the car by then...thinkin' up more tasks to do on the 355 so that you can keep it for a little while longer. I had a question about your roof earlier.

Sure come down!! Yea your probably right the Ferrari will still be here. My girlfriend is waiting for it to get done so she can buy a new Lexus, but she doesn't want to get one until she has the garage spot back.
As for the roof I missed your post. I replied on Ari's site.
Just curious.... Your sig says you are out in Cali. What's with the Michigan plates?
Nice warm January day here in Michigan huh?? LoL, J/K I am in California. The new owner of the car is in Virginia, but has some property in Michigan, so its registered there due to there more lax smog laws.

I was wondering what type of paint you used on your interior trim. is it just regular spray pain or did you use a secial brand? Thanks
SEM interior trim paint. I have used SEM on lots of stuff before and it works really good. You probably could just spray paint it using normal paint, but I didn't want to chance it on this project.

Was that a Corson bb512? I did an interior for one in Toronto.
. If i had money i would do that to my fiero..
