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…

G**damn you and your stupid teasers! 
It feels like I'm watching a reality TV show, haha
Looking great (from what we can see anyways
). Can't want to see how it turns out!
EDIT: I know anybody with an F40 in their garage probably doesn't have what we'd call money problems, but I suspect the bill for this kind of detail would make even Warren Buffet faint.

This one was big! Collectively we had about 60 hours in it...
To quote Bill Murray in Ghostbusters: "No job is too big, no FEE is too big!"

Ha...thanks guys! Yeah, that's only one of the highest ranked auto websites there is, and the traffic it has generated to my website in less than 24 hours is off the charts.
