    Heat shrinking the wires....I'm famous (infamous?) for doing a bang up soldering joint...absolutely perfect....then looking at the bench and seeing the nice little pieces of heat shrink lying there....I keep forgetting to slide the damn things in PRIOR to soldering lol.....
    If I had the gumption I'd work on creating heat shrink that can be applied AFTER the wires have been soldered!

    Lou, I can't begin to say how much of a help this has been to me! I am just starting down the same road with a GT4, but it is so similar that this is all so useful. I had a thread going on Fchat to look for restoration guides, and I have added a link to your channel. Plus, I love your humour and that you don't take things too seriously, but get them done. Please keep it coming!

    I like to see how you’re protecting everything while you work on it. Like when you let that front piece drop, you had a blanket underneath ready. So many of these types of videos, the guys treat the parts as if they are worthless, dropping them on cement etc.

    I think it's smart of you to keep the hood upstairs away from everything else to minimize risk of damage. Car Wizard does the same thing and was talking about it in a recent video. He also talked about his distributor delete ignition module from Nick Ford's Ferrari which uses a XDI module that helps to simplify things and keep things more reliable. You may have mentioned this in a recent video but I wouldn't be surprised if this is in the works.

    Thanks Lou, that was cool. Hey, are the black headlight surrounds and louver pieces plastic? If they are use chem guys Black to Black. I’ve tried most everything and that product is the best I’ve used and I’ve tried a lot. Those Ferrari replica wheels at 4K a set seems a little over the top. You’re doing a great job. Aren’t those old simple electrical diagrams great! 😃

    Hey Lou, Just to say that the wheels from Superformance are good replica speeedline 16" wheels. I bought one as a spare but beware........the superformance wheels obvioulsy do not have "Ferrari" embossed on the rim along with the rim size and you will have every armchair Ferrari nerd point out that they are therefore replicas which will really wind you up considering the attention to detail that you have lavished on your car.
    Also the finish on my Superformance wheel was less than satisfactory and I needed to get it re-finished. Superformance without hesitation compensated me. A first class company with first class customer service...I would be lost without them.

    Yes, yes, opinions, assholes, we all know the saying. Here goes. I would choose the 15" Ferrari five spoke wheels. There is just something that looks wrong about the proportions of larger wheels on the earlier cars that do not have the larger, more modern looking bumper covers that the QVs had. HOWEVER, I just finished my full fendered baja Beetle project back in September and having posted many, many pictures on Bookface and Insta, I understand the pain and suffering of other people's suggestions. Here's a suggestion, get your OWN project car, am I right? Love the build, hard to beat an early 308, looking forward to the Puma!
