Ferrari 348 Corsa Rosso

[Todd@RUPES]

The owner of this car is one of the friendliest people I have ever met. The car was in amazing condition, minus some moderate swirling. (Not bad considering that car had never been polished in the 17 years since it was hand assembled in Italy). This was the third car that had been done this day, so lighting was a matter, keeping me from any good after pictures that night. However the owner was kind enough to send me some pictures from the morning after!

Here is a side of the swirling. We where running low on light so I didn`t really set the focus or the apendature of the camera. You can still see the diffisuion of light, its just not focused enough to caputure the swirls.

Here is the test side after 2 passes on the rotary, both with Z-PC, but with different aggressiveness.... It came out 95 percent defect free! (I didn`t want to go much more aggressive because of the age of the paint.

My brother went to work on the interior while I polished. By the time we finished it was dark out so I captured some photo`s in the garage.

The next morning, the owner was kind enough to take some pictures before taking the Ferrari on a cruise! Here are some midmorning photos of the car.



The airbox was so dried out it sucked in most of the dressing, I`ll have to touch it up!

Wow!! Great job. That last pic looks like it came from a Ferrari brochure, it`s perfect, the angle of the car, the position of the sun...nice!

Great work as always Todd! Excellent pics from the owner too.

[Scottwax]

Beautiful! :drool:



Did you notice the plastic in the center console had a melted look to it? I have a customer with a `96 348 Spider and his console looks horrible. He said it is a common problem but Ferrari refuses to replace his.
