    As a lot of you guys might know, our fellow forum member Michiel van den Brink from vd Brink Design will start with the production of the 599 GTO. (http://www.vandenbrinkdesign.com). These cars will be build by Hietbrink Coachbuilding here in Holland. (www.hietbrink.com). Last week I had the oppertunity to have a look at this fabulous company. I enjoyed this visit very much (I guess I drooled al over the place...) and I made some pics to give you an impression about this company and the artist who restores and repaires a lot of classic Ferrari's and Maserati's. Enjoy the tour ;)

    Hi Peter!

    Very nice pictures!
    Shall I post some of mine here as well?

    It's not "vd Brink Design"... The company name is "Vandenbrink Design". ;)

    BTW: I really love the pic with the leather gloves and the wooden hammer.
    That picture really says it all!

    Exactly my thoughts. And look at all those gorgeous rivets!

    Even the scrapmetal looks beautiful.

    Thanks for sharing the photos Peter!

    Michiel, you know I don't know everything about Ferrari, so forgive me the question:
    In your pics it looks like steel and aluminium are combined (i.e. in the door). Am I right, or is everything made out of aluminium?

    You should ask Alwin Hietbrink for exact answer, because those classic Ferraris are not my projects.
    The lighter grey parts are primer coated.

    OK, I will... But it's not exactly easy for most people to pay him a visit, is it?

    A book would be a good idea. Alwin Hietbrink, his work and the pictures deserve it!

    Hi guys, great pics. I have always liked seeing pics from this famous shop. Quik questions, are those shells out back recreations? There is an old TR shell there. That's a 10 million dollar car LOL.
