Prep, prep, prep... The EZ Edger was the best $70 I ever spent. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
In case you thought Pininfarina only designed cars. :p 1.3mm Iwata LS400 Hybrid for clear. 1.3 Devilbiss Tekna Prolite for base coat. Devilbiss...
A little paint booth maintenance is underway.. We use two course filters in our Garmat downdraft. One large course filter that extends the length...
55-line is as easy it gets, in my opinion. I usually allow 20-30 minutes after the final application of base coat has "flashed" off before I'll...
Thank you all for your kind words and I'm glad you all are enjoying the thread. I'm having all of the real fun, but at least you guys can enjoy a...
We're going with what we know in the way of top coat options for this 355. Glasurit 55-line base coat and their 923-255 clear. It's finally time...
Edging is just auto refinishing speak for cutting in. The bonnet to engine compartment jamb is definitely the trickiest and I have thought and...
Very cool! Too often, a car of this caliber turns into a parts donor when so many of them are still too decent for that fate after a repairable...
Hey! Thanks for asking.. Progress continues to move more slowly, but moving nonetheless. We're staggering our schedules at the shop, so I am on...

BUMP The car I am servicing has the same issue, only it seems that the water temp is affected too. Gauge indication is unreliable, inaccurate,...
A lot people will wonder how the F355 and Porsche 993 even deserve a comparison. It's a great conversation about two models that are each coming...
Those are high praises and I appreciate your confidence! I would rate Ferrari's construction techniques of the 355 as being "par" for the era....
Awesome! I hadn't seen the headers exposed like that yet. How did you restore the insulation before replacing the clam shells? I'm in the same...
I was aware of your association to these cars, but I never even considered if you posted here. Thanks for dropping a line! I can't believe that...
The engine is covered with welding blankets 90% of the time. I opted to leave them removed for the purpose of taking pictures. Also, the whole car...
UPDATE: Quarter panel is now a permanent fixture! Still, there is a lot of welding left to be done. Lower door skin, engine bonnet, and rear panel...
Slowly but surely.. It's been tough to get uninterrupted time with the Spider lately. Having the holidays smack dab in the middle of the week...
