    Hello to everyone!
    I'm going to be starting a restoration on a 1998 F355 GTB F1 I purchased recently.
    My plan is to do a build as a daily driver / track car. So lightweight without many creature comforts.

    I know there have been plenty of Challenge cars raced, wrecked, etc over the years.
    Does anybody have sources for race bodywork or light carbon / fiberglass pieces?
    I see some non-oem carbon/fiberglass parts pop up on Ebay every now and then.

    After getting the car back to our shop, I was surprised at how much of the 355 is fiberglass from the factory!?!

    Any help sourcing some parts would be a big help.
    Looking for:
    - Front bumper
    - Rear Bumper
    - Front Hood
    - Rear engine cover
    - Driver and passenger Door Scoops
    - Upper Dash

    The story on the car: This car was part of a 60 million dollar collector car catastrophe.....The car's advertisement prior to the disaster (copied and pasted).....
    Description:
    Rosso Corsa Red w/ Tan Leather Interior, Fresh Cambelt Service, Red Painted Calipers, No Sticky Interior Pieces, No Shrinkage Leather Dash, Books, Tools, Spare Key & Fob 1998 Ferrari 355 GTB 2-Door Coupe Exterior Color: Rosso Corsa Interior Color: Tan Mileage: Only 10,268! Engine: 3.5 Fuel: Gasoline Transmission: F1 Description 1999 FERRARI 355 F1 BERLINETTA COLLECTOR QUALITY

    Although it will never be exactly like it was, we saved it from being cut-up and parted out. It will be driven again and plan on a long loving life with the car. I previously owned a 348 spider and currently vintage race a special, well documented 308/288 widebody GT2 race car owned and raced years ago by Mohr Imports in Monterey, Ca.

    Thanks in advance for any help!!!!

    I just bought a 348 that has 355 front bumper on it and 355 door scoops. They are grigio gray if that matters at all. I'm just looking to get enough $ for them to put back on the origianl 348 parts. Car is in FLA currently. PM me if you prefer. Thanks

    Yes, not the purest bloodline, but I always wanted a spider long term and its one of my top 3 color combos so I couldn't pass it up. Both the car and seller was less than expected (and I was prepared for the car :). But again it was a long term play and at a price that was hard to pass up.

    I have a carbon front hood that came off of my challenge car years ago. Its not perfect as it has some undulations in it right out of the mold.
