Saw your writeup and the other guy's photos of the process, looks easy
enough. The headliner on there now is gray, I'm thinking black to
replace it, maybe even buy a whole black leather skin to do it!

Never looked until now. Looks like he does W123 dash pads, don’t see anything

I’ll check that out. Really anything short of replating is a temporary fix and
even a possible bodge.
Fortunately I only really need the upper bumper pieces for the rear and the
little trim strips on the rear doors. The rest of the chrome is in pretty good

I doubt that Ferrari cares about the fuel consumption standards, but they
do care about aerodynamics - less drag = more speed. I still like the 275

I figure Dan or Dimitri or Kaleb knows how to get that trim strip off.
Does it have nuts on the inside, or does it pull off somehow? I really
don't want to ruin one to find out.

Pry the back or rear edge of the painted insert. It’s held in with pins. once
the tow pins are released, the insert piece slides back and out. Then you can
see the screws that hold the trim to the C pillar.
Good to know, I never took one of those off.

Kaleb,
One of the best investments I ever made was to purchase 240 ft. of 12 ft
tall x 42 inch wide pallet racking and set it up with the first row of
shelves 48 inches off the ground, so there was room for large heavy items
[whole engines, etc.]
Second best investment was a rolling warehouse ladde
auctions will be cheaper for pallet rack. if you can find the kind
with a lip for 2x lumber, that is great for boxes and smaller stuff.
You put in 2Xs, the top of them is level with the top of the pallet

The stuff I bought has a heavy gauge wire inserts that make up the
"shelves". setup was easy, and the wire inserts will hold boxes, or
pallets, or about anything. Previously, I had racks with 2x4's and it took
forever to set up.. Wire is the way to go for ease.
