Great looking car Dave. What is the material that you used on the firewall in the engine bay and where did you get the stacks for the zenith carbs?

The firewall is engine turned stainless steel. I've always liked the look and it's easy to clean. The velocity stacks were a purchase from the registry classifieds.

Dave
two questions..
the link for vintage seatbelts does not work, any phone number or e mail address ?
where did you get that luggage.. it is very very nice, and of course matches the other trim pieces and seatbelts..
looks great all around.

The seatbelt guy is really flaky I think he's gone for good which is a shame because he does great work.

Taris Charysyn & Company of West Kill, New York made the backseat luggage. He did a beautiful job.

Entered the car into the Cobble Beach Concours d'Elegance. We came second to a 550 fresh off of a 5 year restoration.

Congratulations Dave! What a stunning 356. Quick question, where did you purchase the two stopwatches?

There's a chronograph group on Facebook that often has items for sale. I bought the brackets separately and used rare earth magnets to attach them to my glovebox door.
