That car is gorgeous. I love the now-classic gated shifter. Great work.

+1 to rubber_ducky's comment, what a beautiful car. Actually, all the cars in that garage were gorgeous! Excellent writeup and nice work. I can't imagine what a PITA it was to polish around all those louvers but it was expertly done.

Bertone's finest moment - I've always loved that car. Kickass detailing job too.

TSC17 · 08-02-2009, 06:18 AM

Thanks everybody for the kind words. Yes, the car definitely had many areas that were a PITA to work on, but it was a labor of love for sure. And the garage sure was nice to work in!
