yay! can't wait for this. The work you do is simply amazing. You'll need new 16 inch rims. Can't find those tires anywhere.

 

So sorry for the stupid question... i misread your post. Thought you were the car owner and it came back like this( and were pointing out mistakes)...aigh:/
Cant wait to see this car evolve!

Awesome, will be following. Buyer beware, these neglected cars are out there and are going to cost a lot to fix

 

Yes, a lot of work- this one seems to have been ridden hard, put away wet, and then forgotten. Great project!

 

I'm excited to follow this thread.

 

Could you talk to us a bit about the FCA method? I just searched it but why choose that method versus any others? I don't know anything about them but I'm just curious to learn. Also- will you apply a zinc-oxide coating to the bare aluminum and steel per the original Pinninfarina method? These cars were originally dipped in a bath that was formulated to passivate steel and aluminum at the same time.

 

Painters seem to thing they can blend basecoat clearcoat paint in with Glasurite Ferrari paint. Fish eyes and bubbles are the result.

 

Would love to see some updates from Bradan on their progress.

 

Lovely car, I hope it gets the proper resurrection it deserves!
