Peterpools Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Mark Great to see you back at the bench and working on your Ferrari 330Pa Two sounds in this world that are music to my ears: the sounds of RR Merlin and the sounds of a Ferrari 12 cylinder on race day. Your 330P engine is looking mighty good and the nose clip finish is top notch. Keep 'em comin Peter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The paintjob is smoot and shiny, with a gloss coat it will be super. I guess, the slightly orange tint is due to lighting conditions. Cheers Rob Yes indeed its because the Light Will post beter pic after the clear coat. 21 hours ago, Peterpools said: Mark Great to see you back at the bench and working on your Ferrari 330Pa Two sounds in this world that are music to my ears: the sounds of RR Merlin and the sounds of a Ferrari 12 cylinder on race day.

Peterpools Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 Hi Mark Still drooling over the finish on your Ferrari - it's awesome. Yesterday I clear coated the GT40 and polishing will be tomorrow afternoon after my doctor appointment. If I can come half as close to your deep, mirror shine, I'll be one happy camper for sure.
