    Day 34


    Al's just had another Ferrari delivered. It's a 360CS owned by another friend of mine who's having the front end resprayed for cosmetic reasons. You can see it in the background in a couple of the pictures. He's now working on 4 Ferrari's at the same time and I belive he has a couple more waiting to come in as well.

    "Headlamp pods flatted down & polished, all fitted & aligned along with side skirts."

    All I can say is "WOW".

    BTW Al, ever been to California? i can think of a half a dozen Ferrari owners who would finance your stay here to paint their Fcar. Me being one.

    Also, what is wet primer? Is it a primer surfacer?

    So true. For that price he'd easily get a dozen customers.

    Where can we find a shop for him with a sealed paint booth???

    Prices out here are at least 4x for that type of workmanship.

    You sir, are a consummate professional. This is, without a doubt, the finest paint job I have ever seen. In a world of mediocrity, it's wonderful to see someone who strives for perfection.

    I can arrange that no problem. It's getting him over here from the UK with tons of business there.

    A quality paint job with minimal bodywork would cost you 15K at the least.

    Al hasn't told me I need them so they are probably in good condition.

    Carbon sills with the aluminium inserts on the car. thanks to MaCarbon for them.



    Al says..........

    "N/s door built up - door glass, catch assy etc, all adjusted & set correctly.

    N/s carbon sill in place - looks really good actually :)

    N/s roof edge finisher fitted (with correct anodised black rivets - you might have gathered - I have a bit of a 'thing' about using the right rivets!)"
