----Really cool, Tim! I have to say that I like your hood scoop much better than the one pictured. That one looks like the hood off of Bill Cosbys Cobra. Just personal preference, I guess......Bill S

That is awesome. I like how that the crew has some younger guys(family?) too.

I agree on the hood, Bill. That's the Super Snake hood and it's a bit too much.

Here's a repair of a rear brushed aluminum panel after a tire came apart. How they fix this damage and make it look perfect with no paint is beyond me.

These guys are real craftsmen. I'd love to see a video of the original AC factory making the bodies on body bucks out of sheet aluminum. My understanding is that 2,000 manhours went into making a body.

Zagato was given 300 hrs to build the early Alfa SZ's

Man...impressive isn’t the word to use! 2000 hours?!?! It’s inspiring and something to aim for with my 507 for sure. Thanks for posting it up, Tim!

Cheers:beers:
