Touring bodied 166

Eben is cracking away at the 166. The most challenging element is re-making the flange that wraps around the “Superleggaria” frame work. When this aluminum was wrapped around the frame originally it became work-hardened. When we un-wrapped the body to blast and repair the tubing it split and became too damaged to replace. Some areas are workable but in tight radius areas the aluminum is a disaster.

Elias helped to sand all of the old oxidized contamination from the edges. One photo shows new aluminum welded to the windshield opening area. She’s starting to look like a car again!!
