    1966 Ferrari 275 GTB Alloy 6C by Concours.John

    The 275 GTB has been said to be one of Ferrrari’s most beautiful road cars. IMO it is not because it is a Ferrari but because of the timeless design by Pininfaria built by Carrozzeria Scaglietti. In 1965 the 275 GTB took form with a “short nose” and 3 2V carbs. Due to issues with “lift” at high...

    Coming soon...Preserving a period finish on the iconic Alloy 275 GTB

    This vehicle has a story. It will require full attention. The period finish is super thin in areas so full correction cannot be obtained. The goal is to remove the minor marring that has occurred while observing critical areas. Machine and much handwork will be involved. All in 20hrs. It will...

    3600 Lumens LED stand build

    Some of you know I've been experimenting and contacting people on an LED replacement or supplement to halogens. After trying out different set ups this really IMO fits the bill. I've tried billboard wash and others but the one thing I've noticed is it's not a Brinkman. The one thing with a...

    Coming soon. 3600 Lumens of LED!

    I made this modification. As some know I've been looking for an LED light source. This was created with no modification to the stand or fixtures. It's like holding 4 swirlfinders at once. It is watertight and no warranties voided. I took the two halogens and replaced my old ones on the old...

    The Griot's black "L" swab.

    I have been speaking with Griot reps at Ault Park Concours and this weekend at Keenland Concours. It has been confirmed that they are discontinuing the white/blue and white cone "L" swab. I have been buying the kit that included these for a while. I believe it was Accumulator who asked if I...

    Yard/ Intersection sign ideas.

    I had a couple of these made. This is the trial run. I did all the layout and had them produced by Vistaprint. The are perfectly visible at 25ft if stopped. (size 18x27) There are a few key places where people will be sitting that allow this for now. I'm already re-thinking about script size...

    All for the sake of avoiding door dings....

    Trees have no mercy!

    I received a call to take a look at a sap problem. The vehicle sat under some trees and the sun did it's job of baking the sap. With this unusually warm winter the sap has been horrible. The problem is this vehicle is fairly flat as far as peel. These are the after mild APC wash down and clay.:(...

    1963 Split Window Laguna Blue by Concours.john.

    I was contacted to do this vehicle for sale. It has 1600 miles on its restoration. It has been wiped down over the past few years but does not appear to have had much water taken to it. It was very dusty in the engine bay. There were swirls and rids pretty much equally around due to the wipe...

    Found a new brush.. Like!

    I found this brush a Bed Bath and Beyond(10$) I have already found plenty of uses since it will bend and hold it's shape. It made cleaning the front Scuderia air ducts openings much easier.(made a 3" bend at the end) The brush width is just shy of 1 3/4" the bristle length is 19". The...

    A Thank You to Our Vets & Soldiers.

    With current events and situations it is important to remember our Veterans and those serving. The days are long and nights short. Sometimes a simple thank you or note makes the day a little better. Instead of a simple E-card I thought about a thread to include everyone. Here is an...

    Take time to say Thanks.

    With the Concours and show season approaching I wanted to add something. No one wins money here the proceeds go to charity. When an owner presents a vehicle, especially at at Concours out of state they could have thousands wrapped up in attending. There is travel, the detail, lodging and...

    My Saturday project. Coon Rescue.

    We had a critter living in our chimney. It hasn't been back in a few days. Good...... no. Today there was horrendous screaming coming from it. I look down the flew and saw a baby. Knowing the mama hasn't been around we feared the worst. After several hours of attempts the only option was a...
