PS Detailed: Ferrari F360 in NART blue and a few pics of a rare Ducati

[gmblack3]

Another trip down to Montgomery, AL. Its just 1hr 45 mins from my place so no big deal.



This F360 has been going thru a major service including some transmission work at the shop. They just about have it sorted out. The rear bumper cover was still removed and was polished on a few saw horses.



Paint only process:



QEW wash.

Clay with QEW as lube.



Some areas where wetsanded with Megs unigrit 2000 paper to remove deeper RIDS.



M105/surbuf pad/G110v2

QEW wash to remove dust.

M205/black LC classic flat pad/G110v2.

Z6 wipedown.

Blackfire Wet Diamond sealant.

Zaino Z8 to finish.



The horz surface where very dusty from sitting in the shop so long.

The shops mechanic was kind enough to remove the emblems







Some nice RIDS and other defects:



















Just a few of the areas that I wetsanded. 8 areas in total.







Always good to keep checking the thickness with a PTG when wetsanding:









Finals:





























Here are a few pics of a Ducati Desmosedici rr. Its a street version of Ducati's Moto GP bike. Approx 230hp and only 350 lbs. :shock:

Ferrari 612

Ferrari 348

Lamborghini Diablo VT Roadster

Excellent work!

Nice work as always Bryan. Yeah those Desmos are incredible bikes...only a mere $70K or so.

Amazing job Bryan. It looks like it was well worth the trip. Looking forward to the other works of art

B E U T I F U L ! ! !

I really like that bike. Most 3500lb cars don't have 230 HP! Geesh, that sucker must be fast. How crappy was it buffing that bumper on those saw horses?

 

[Rickrack]

Looks amazing, Bryan!!



It must have been a little easier working with the emblems removed...



I'm liking that color since you don't see it very often. The bike is absolutely insane!!!



Great work!!!

 

[Eisen Hulk]

Top notch, Bryan. I've never seen that color on an F-Body before!



That Ducati made me black out for a minute or two....Holy F!

Thanks Jeff! I really like the nart blue too. Wish I could of seen it in the sun. Maybe next time

Thanks Todd! The shops mechanic told me he took it for a ride or two. As a former semi-pro rider, he said it is insane.

Thanks Pat! I can't complain about the drive as the facility is controlled and clean. Me too!

Thank you David! Someone at the shop told me the bike has seen 160 at the top of 3rd gear. Still 3 more gears left....



When I first saw the bumper on the saw horses, I was like :nervous2:



It was actually supported very well.

Looks amazing, Bryan!!

Great job Bryan. NART blue is stunning and looks perfectly (pun intended) suited to the 360. Awesome!

I saw this car today. That's one heck of a shop this guy's got.

Car still looks to be in good shape too. I'd love to have a go

on that Desmo...problem is, I know I wouldn't come back

in one piece

Nice bump. That is a gorgeous Ferrari! Even though it's an old post, great work Bryan! Don't know how I missed this the first time around.
