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

First week in February it's getting detailed which will take 4 days. So I should have it home mid Feb. Can't wait!!!!
Day 35 Al says.... "Door strakes painted!!!!!!!!! (Also door buttons & housings painted - but I forgot to pic them!) Luggage lid blocked down & wet on wet primed. Upper door window locators/runners stripped, etched & primed." Anyone who hates the 348 side strakes.... don't scroll down!!!

Thanks I won't know until after the final detail wich one I would request but I bet they will all look GREAT...
Day 36 Al says.... "He's beginning to look like a car again! Door button assemblies rebuilt & fitted. Door strakes fitted, aligned & shimmed. Just hit 300 pics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" .

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. Kai
Al: 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.
Day 36 (continued) Pics of the vents that were refurbished. Thanks to Robbie at www.stickynomore.com for a great job. Only problem is that I forgot to send the square tabs off, so will be sending them to him later in the year with some other bits from the car.

Day 37 Al says....... "Luggage lid, engine lid & drop glass runners prepped & painted. Received the carbon sills today - very good timing I'll take them to the works tomorrow & fit 'em straight on."

It's the "door rear angle piece", Tav 121, item 18, as fitted at the lower rear corner of the door glass.
Day 38 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!)"
