18 months. Getting close now. I think I'll be taking it home this weekend. New leather interior, top, paint, windscreen, wiper mechanism, fuel system, electronic ignition and distributor, clutch, column switches, ignition switch, tail lights, restored steering wheel, and I forgot how many other parts. A basket case becomes a swan. I was lucky. I found one virtually rust free and very complete with a recent rebuilt motor. I have the Fiat Dino Fender badges and Fiat wheel caps. Last things to be installed.
Quite the adventure! We saved one more car from being parted out.

Congrats... it is always worth it and makes me happy as well that another sample is saved again. Have a lot of fun with it.
Re: nearly finished restoration: 67 Fiat Dino Spider
I am restoring the interior and convertible top of my 1967 Dino and was curious how you sourced replacement parts for the convertible top? We ordered the canvas top from Dino Parts but we are also in need of the bows that are woven into the top and provide the structure. The originals are badly damaged and can't be reused and so we are looking at options including building our own from other materials but thought I would ask if there was a source?
Thank you!
