Aluminum panels, rough and smooth
The panels on this Aston DB-4 GT Zagato probably looked like the firewall on this Auburn Special Racer before being smoothed and polished to perfection. Can you imagine the time involved in filing and sanding all the welds let alone building such a complex body. Hello? Isn’t that what body filler and paint are for!
The Auburn firewall is super cool, made by someone who had the talent to smooth it out just like the Aston but chose to leave it rough for effect. These cars were photographed at a VSCCA event at Lime Rock Park last Friday.
