1961 Ferrari 250 GT Short Wheelbase Berlinetta (Tribute)
Rosso Mugello Red
40,000 miles

This vehicle is from one of my Ferrari crazy clients. He has a list of F cars he wishes to have in his collection, some real and some tributes. The next one he wants to acquire is a 250 GT California roadster tribute (Ferris Bueller car). I will be doing his 1966 330 GT 2+2 (real with single stage paint) soon.

This is a neat car and very well done. I dig it!

It was recently completed and painted earlier this year. The paint had the usual swirls, scratches, holograms, marring, hazing, and the typical body shop defects.

It received a 2 stage paint correction, gloss amplification and ceramic coating to get it looking like it should and protected as best it could since he will be driving this piece quite a bit.

Outstanding work, as usual Scott! Gotta love paint thickness readings like that.

And once again, thank you for taking the time to let me pick your brain on my Tesla job. It came out great! Just waiting for my client to come pick it up this evening.

Wow what a amazing car! Great work and write up and pictures Scott! Thanks for shareing your work.

Since I'm a Swedish. That car modell I think had been in the thought of the designer that did the Volvo P1800 James Bond car.
