Preview: Ferrari F40 Restorative Detail
Trailer presented by the late Don LaFontaine (voiceover Master)
In a world…where Supercars are kept from looking their best by swirls, scratches, grime, and years of wear and tear…lives two restorative artisans with incredible powers fueled by severe cases of Obsessive Compulsive Disorders.
It’s man versus machine in an epic battle that will prove to be the blockbuster hit of the summer.
See Craig Reed as the Mechanical Mad Scientist and Todd Cooperider as the Paint Whisperer in their quest to restore the rare and highly collectible Ferrari F40 and prepare it for the 20th Anniversary F40 Gathering in Monterey, CA.
Craig and Todd face perhaps their biggest challenge ever when they take on the mighty F40.
Watch them as they deal with years of scratches and swirls
Witness Todd’s steady hand when polishing all of the dangerous curves
See how failure to take their OCD meds result in the dismantling of the engine…just to detail it!
And see how Craig re-paints, re-plates, and repairs even the smallest of defects.
Will the job be insurmountable?
Will they be able to complete the restorative detail in time to ship the car off to Monterey?
Will their Obsessive Compulsive Disorders draw them into a shell of themselves to where they’ll never be able to return?
Stay tuned to see the spectacle that auto enthusiasts will be speaking about for many years to come…

Wow I look forward to seeing this! Just 30 minutes ago I was looking at the 288 GTO detail that you did (from your avatar). You guys are top notch!

Thanks everybody. Yes, this article is going to be huge. I already have about 5 hours into it (the article), and hope to be done sometime this week. I had to chop it down to "only" about 120 photos.
Jas...I might be going out to Monterey with the car so perhaps I'll get a chance to meet you. This is Hawkeye's car.

Thanks for the PM. The level of detail is UNF****ING real. A friend of mine has one and drives it regularly and takes VERY good care of his but this is on a different level. Thank you for restoring that car to what I can only imagine is better than showroom standards.
