The one, the only....Ferrari F40!

Hello everyone! It has been quite a while since my last write up, but I felt this was a cool one that needed sharing!


So this F40 was at a Ferrari service center getting some work done in order to get it ready for it's new owner. My client wanted it looking presentable, so I was to do what I could within a day. Perfection was not the goal, just as much improvement as possible.

Once washed & decontaminated, we moved it into the service center to continue.
Taped what little needed areas needed to be taped, & began polishing.

Overall I was happy with the progress. I wish they would have wanted to do more with it, but I gave my client what he wanted!
I can only hope I hear from the F40's neighbor to want some work done on it!


Thanks for looking!
 
nice job. Love the LaFerrai but consider that the F40 came out in the early 90's it looks just a good. Its a classic for sure.

Was the paint thin?
 
Nice work

love the b&w shots too. seems to add something

Thanks!
Right?! thought it was just me lol

Yup!
Not really, this one was actually repainted. it had enough paint to "cover" the weave which is usually visible under the paint on these cars!

Still looks futuristic and fast. Just awesome.

It does!:cool:
 
Wow thanks for sharing! I still have yet to see a LaFerrari in person.

How do you like those wireless Jaybirds?
