Touring bodied Ferrari 166
This car looks too cool in this flat black primer to hide from view. We sprayed an epoxy primer to protect the car as we begin to trial fit every little piece of trim. This car is built as though it was a piece of furniture using trim caps and decorative pieces to cover all of the ugly details.
There are chrome end caps for the interior door top strips, trims around the door catches and small mouldings around all of the glass. We had to re-make these mouldings because they were full of cracks because they are a brittle alloy. We made the new moulding from a much softer aluminum alloy so we can bend them into place so everything fits nicer.

Have recently found your webside and read it regularly since.
I was involved in a ’50’s barchetta Touring body restoration and, so in good position to appreciate the difficulties to overcome Superleggera frame rebuilt.
As a humble classic sportscar follower, I want congratulate your team for the expertise, honestity and high style of work performed. People like you are far more than just skilled professionals. You add humanity to your activity. So hard to find these days!
Have a nice 2009.
Best wishes
N.B.: If some time you need someone to sweep the shop floor, pls call meI! I’m a retired enginner now but would do my best to meet the same standard !
Thank you very much .
