Saturday at the Shop

Wow.... If I can't make it to Italy for a factory tour, what would it take to tour the shop???

That's automotive porn right there! - Awesome. Thanks for posting.

Cheers,
Ian
PS - *Love* the DIY stands - "My" undertray got put back together wrong - If I had those it'd be way easier to fix..... Hmmmm.....

 

First impression of the 8C?

 

What are those green wood boxes made out of inside. That jack method looks dangerous!

 

Wow! Would love to see some in-car video of a few of those on road/track.

 

Cool plate on the Alfa.

 

Automotive Porn is spot on.

I spent my morning crunching numbers, while you spent yours giving numbers some crunch.

Are you guys cutting some treads into new slicks for 0846 yet?

 

This marks the fifth time we've wished each other all that matters - a Happy Thanksgiving. But this time, on a Cornucopia of Cars thread!

 

Brilliant! Thank you for the look into the shop and the machines. I would have my bedroom above the shop floor. With that collection Id never sleep

 

Looks great. The V8s are more or less winterized here now. Work on the 365 starts Monday. Will post pics when we're done.

 

Same to you.

 

Cool pics Jim!!

Thanks for sharing mate.

 

Didn't know there was a Deusey in the stable. Any chance you could share a picture or two?
Thanks for today's photos.

 

Beautiful!!

 

Grazie.

 

Jim,

The pictures of your Garage, with all those beatiful cars of racing legend, is like a dream of happiness, that you went to heaven, and you are among all of the world's great car makers. Ferrari and Ford, with the epic "Battle of Le Mans," and with your Classics, in another epoch of time.

It's a dream to me, but for you it is reality! Thanks for letting us share the dream.

Ciao...Paolo

Perfect car. It's not that it's timeless...it's that it makes that Age/Era of cars look so good. It does them proud. You drive it and you *know* that you are in a 1930's vehicle, yet you are proud of it without being arrogant. It toes the perfect line.

 

Our shops aren't so different; I have the same AC Hydraulics jack...
(A nice piece of AC pipe insulation makes for a nice bumper protector on the handle)

Okay, so maybe the rest of the content isn't the same (not too embarrassed to show a picture in the same thread ).

I did know about the Duesenberg, and I'd cut my heart out for your 166 Spider Corsa, but I guess I never realized there was BOTH a P3(4?) open and closed version; I had thought the open car was being converted back to the closed one.

Just love the colour co-ordinated tool boxes! Red for the P4/5 and yellow ones for the Ford.

Sweet big Healey there, Randy!
