    That is some serious body work you guys are doing. Very difficult to keep the line of the whole side continuous and straight.

    Nice work.
    Are you media blasting all rusty areas before welding on new panels?

    No, otherwise there would by difficulty in welding the panels in place. Mild steel, just as Ferrucio intended.

    Simply amazing! I'd throw a piece of glass on top of the motor and use it as a coffee table until it's ready to go back in the car

    I have 4 men working in the body department. But, when #0220 is being worked on, I am doing mechanicals on #0223. Then at a pre determined point , body work is completed on #0220, the body guys go back to #0223, I work on the mechanicals of #0220. This way, there is always something going on.These are not the only two cars being worked on, as there are 6 Miura's, 1 periscopio Countach, 1 400 GT 2+2 that are also being done by the body department at the same time.

    the Rockers have been fabricated out of aluminum to duplicate the originals, they are completed and being installed, showing comparisons between old and new.

    Now we see the doors, partially stripped here, then sent out for media blast in all those areas that are just too difficult to get at by hand stripping.
    The doors have also been chemically metal prepped so they can be epoxy primed.

    The areas under the gas tanks on both cars are completely rotted out and have to be rebuilt.

    when i look at the pictures first thing what i think is bring that car to the scrapyard, it is completly rotted away.. but then i have to say amazing how you repair it all. But to be honest i wouldnt be happy with a car like that, still the feeling there was welding work done all over the place.
