Each car will recieve about 30-40 hours of crazy detailing to get them into concours level condition! It should be fun...

So glad you got this job and that you'll be sharing it with us! Yeah, it oughta be one fun project. I'll be looking forward to updates, esp. the undercarriages/etc.

Wow! Great and honest work pays off!
I simply can't wait to see the progress of these cars. This thread is going to be very educational as well. Best of luck Todd!

Those remind me of high school! Those are so much fun to clean and show. My dad had that 930 in the pics, but grey market (wiper on the back window) The factory slant nose was very expensive in the 80's, $23,000 just to order the slant nose. The deal was, the factory fenders were made of steel. There were plenty knock-off's driving around with fiberglass fenders.

For reference:
86 Ferrari 288 GTO listed for $85k - but none sold that cheap, quickly hit $200k+.
86 Ferrari Testarossa listed for $87k - just broke $100k, thank Miami Vice.
86 930 Turbo Slant listed for $115k - grey market

Gorgeous cars. I'm sure they'll come out mind-bogglingly fantastic. You're gonna post "after" pics too, right?

I love the 328 -- one of my favorite designs of all time.

//How does someone buy a car like the 512BB and not drive it? Only 3500 miles in 30 years? Sheesh, if it was me, you'd never get me out of it.

I'll be at the winter park show can't wait to see the cars.I will be at the Bentley display.SO it you have time come on over.

Went to see Todd this morning to see the AWESOME collection of rides that he is doing and all i have to say is......

His work is beyond all i have seen in my life, these rides finishes are like the pic's he always post of all his work in these forums (crystal clear and pure wetness), it was a pleasure to see a master at work and see the almost finish product. I know the owner is going to be so happy and proud of his collection when Todd is done with them.

......Thank's for the samples and letting me come by Todd

.....see you soon!
