Jagvic Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 I'm confused. JN - we know that my car now has the black center spinner caps. Do you think these were on during its use in the series or did Carl change them after he got the car? It appears they were changed at some point, judging by these stills compared to your wheel now...

Jagvic Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 Thanks Jagvic for posting these --now I see what JN was getting at.But when I said flared I meant that the blades were angled outward from the wheels away from the center plane of the blades. That is on the pic in the show Kavinsky posted earlier and teh same with my Zenith wheels and spinners. So these pics you have are Swept but not flared out at all that I can see but the last pic from Kavinsky shows the blades not only Swept but also flared. Different from what I think had been discussed as on the car during S1.Just trying to establish exactly what the spinners looked like during filming. Gotcha! As far as I understand it the spinners were STRAIGHT and FLARED from construction by McBurnie til today, with only the center emblems changed. However I'll defer to JN or CD to give final confirmation on this - them being our experts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kavinsky Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 Yeah Camera they were changed, along with the door pannels, the center console from wood to black plastic, the shifter back to a ball type the radio from a tape deck to a cd player in 87 and the plexyglass on the nosethe spinners in laymens terms like these:http://www.miamiviceonline.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3070&stc=1&d=1296868742except that they stick out at a 30 degree angle from the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jurassic narc Posted February 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 I'm confused. JN - we know that my car now has the black center spinner caps. Do you think these were on during its use in the series or did Carl change them after he got the car? All the photos of the car during the series have the gold caps. Even the photos Carl took after he got the car have gold caps. They were changed at some point after the car came to Carl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jurassic narc Posted February 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 [ATTACH=CONFIG]3079[/ATTACH]The cap pictured on the left is a Zenith (just a screen capture from their site-not anywhere close to the color used on the show car at any time), the same company that made the caps for the Camera Car (both the original gold and the current black caps). On the right is a Dayton cap in the (approx.) correct gold color.And again, sorry that I am having to jot off these quick replys that end up confusing everyone. (They make perfect sense to me) But business is good, and I try to shoot something back when I can but should take a little more time.........JN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jurassic narc Posted February 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 Differences between Season 1 and Season 2:The trim on the back of the seats. Season 1 no black strip, Season 2 a wide black strip.[ATTACH=CONFIG]3087[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]3082[/ATTACH]The nose of the car and the headlight covers:Season 1 Ferrari emblem high above a clear plexi cover, Season 2 Ferrari emblem between the headlights which are covered with a tinted plexiglass.[ATTACH=CONFIG]3084[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]3085[/ATTACH]The tonneau cover over the top was rare in Season 1, common in Season 2.

jurassic narc Posted February 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 Differences between cars:Season 1 only, the stunt car (Car 1) had chrome trim around the windshield. (note-both pics are from DUTCH OVEN which was shown in Season 2, but filmed in Season 1, therefore the cars had not changed)[ATTACH=CONFIG]3088[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]3089[/ATTACH]The dash of the Stunt car was like a 78-82 Vette. And had a black steering column.[ATTACH=CONFIG]3090[/ATTACH]and the stunt car never had sun visors, but the Camera Car did until the end of Season 2.

Sonny-Burnett Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 yes' date=' there is a chromed bit of trim that includes the tag lights for the car. The lenses themselves are very fragile, and that item can cost more than $300. It is a Ferrari part, and I haven't found a cheaper replacement. I kept my eye on EBay and found one for $125.You might take a look though, cause many of the Italian cars use interchangeable parts. Might be that an Alfa part would fit.JN[/quote'] JNDo you remember what this part was called when you searched for it?Thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jurassic narc Posted February 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 JNDo you remember what this part was called when you searched for it?Thx I have bought parts from here' date=' but they are very expensive.

None of the body parts are cheap. The front turn signal covers are ridiculous ($700+ each). Hang in there, once you get past the high dollar parts it gets easier.You also might try T Rutlands, here in Atlanta. Carl and some of the other replicar people used them for a while, then Ferrari made them ask for a Vehicle ID Number before they would sell Daytona parts. That is no longer the case, and while I wouldn't tell them it's for a replica, they do stock a huge supply of Ferrari parts and some remanufactured parts.JN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the Carello lenses are very expensive I know. I do have a small crack on one of the front turn lenses and yes, have seen them go for that range.

Kavinsky Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 Well apart from one or two things Sonny I think I've just about covered everything with your car.I'll send you the final part in a little while but its some really small stuff but with the motor basically try and make the best of it. I'd say going for a crate motor should be one of your last options and if the motors in decient shape a few good parts should give the car quite an omph and hell if you want more power and your car does turn out to have 3:11 or 3:15 gears just switch them out for 3:75 and up and it should basically give you a huge jump in the acceleration deparment although it sort of a give and take thing since with higher gears comes less gas mileage and the 4:11 is considered to be a drag racing set up.
