Pico Posted June 21, 2019 Author Posted June 21, 2019 14 hours ago, absmiami said: this design is very interesting not an expert - but I think Pinnin proposed both front and rear engine designs to Ferrari - when? - in '67 ? this car carries design features from both the rear engine proto - the Dino - and the fr engine prototypes .... so it's a mutt but a very pretty one .... the coachbuild forum is devious - lots of rabbit holes to crawl down ... The de Rethy car styling is a continuation of Pinifarina's top of the line extended nose/ oval opening started in 1957 with the Superfast; and used in all special coachbuilt cars as the 1964 500 Superfast and 1966 365 California Spyder. However, it incorporated the extended C-pillar of the upcoming 1968 Dino. Pf stylists are not well known, but I think all are the work on Aldo Brovarone.
absmiami Posted June 21, 2019 Posted June 21, 2019 has anyone kitted the '64 500 superfast ?? that's when Enzo hit the sweet spot ...
absmiami Posted June 21, 2019 Posted June 21, 2019 wait a minute ... do you have the files and random tooth cutting bits made by Perma-grit ????
Pico Posted June 21, 2019 Author Posted June 21, 2019 Airtrax did the 500 Superfast, I don't have the Perma-grit cutters.
Pico Posted June 21, 2019 Author Posted June 21, 2019 Here is a link to the Photobucket of Niko Neimi, who mastered the 500 Superfast. Scroll down to find the Superfast: https://s20.photobucket.com/user/nniemi/library/Scale Kraft 212MM?page=1

Gramps46 Posted June 24, 2019 Posted June 24, 2019 Ah Pico, I can smell the Bondo from here. After restoring a 1:1 Corvette I know that aroma well.
Pico Posted June 25, 2019 Author Posted June 25, 2019 I wake up to the smell of Bondo dust in the morning...
Dann Tier Posted June 25, 2019 Posted June 25, 2019 I'm really looking forward to this as well!!....GREAT start!!!

Rider Posted June 26, 2019 Posted June 26, 2019 Really looking forward to watching this progress and develop.
Cpt Tuttle Posted June 29, 2019 Posted June 29, 2019 Will be interesting to watch the conversion work.
Pico Posted June 30, 2019 Author Posted June 30, 2019 I'm looking forward to a full day of work today.
