Incredible work. Chapeau

[@larrysorenson4789]

In the mid 80’s we bought us a 77 308 fiberglass unit, chopped it up and made us a real live GT-2 rase car.

[@DB-fn3fz]

Impeccable build quality! Beautiful work!

[@robertrishel3685]

Dear God😍😍😍. I have never seen anything so beautiful and desirable in my entire life! It makes the Singer Porsche look like child’s play. Just 🤯. If ever there was a motivation to be wealthy, rich.... well, this is it! Spectacular!!!!!!

[@soarindragon603]

Have you seen the Singer DLS?

[@jacquesraymond6892]

By chance your are keeping the Engine in your version. If not, that car is so much transformed that wouldn't be considered as being a Ferrari anymore. Very well done.

[@AntonioMeisolomotori]

Bravissimi, complimenti per la professionalità..

[@stormofsteel25112007]

You could have used a later steel bodied car? You didn’t even use the original fibreglass body.

[@fanfan1291]

Hello, what you do is exceptional, there are very few companies that still work like you, but I wonder why you offer by a kit or a ready car assembled without engine of course.

[@fifie1]

Fantastic Job really !!

[@thedudeinthestude6442]

So it was a real Ferrari that was turned into a fiberglass kit car?

[@rafaelmendez8588]

LMAO, that is exactly what I was saying in my head.

[@DB-fn3fz]

Anything done to a Ferrari that makes it more usable without taking away from the soul of the car is, in my opinion, worth doing. Lots of these 308/328's are is very poor condition due to neglect and age, and due to the production numbers, it doesn't quite pay to have them restored to factory spec when you can upgrade the chassis, engine, etc and make it a truly good driver's car whilst maintaining all of the Italian looks, sounds, and sensations for the same money or less. This car will be driven like a wild hare and that does good things for the car community.

[@Yosemite_Sam]

It looks like a rare fibreglass from the factory bodied 308. They only made a few hundred of these.

[@kasimirdenhertog3516]

@@Yosemite_Sam indeed! Insane to chop one of these up! 😳

[@kasimirdenhertog3516]

@@DB-fn3fz I agree with what you say, but in this case, it’s a very rare ‘vetroresina’ 308… that’s one you should preserve.

[@Dennis-eh2vx]

This is some heck of a build! But is this car in anyway water tight without any seem sealers an only riveted the fiberglass panels on the chassis. Ore is/was it 7 years ago only a dry weather racer?

[@hectorherbert6585]

Hope they go over the top for heat management ,extra cooling ,fire wall ,manual extractor fans..and modern rally tires...!!!!

[@douglasmccowen27]

Looking at the engine at 9:54 and wondering why the water pump pulley is so large. What issue is being solved by having the water pump turn at a lower RPM?

[@Rob-vv5yn]

Probably to stop cavitation inside the pump at hi RPMs would be my thought

[@mattcrunk6593]

Are those body panel kits available for sale?

[@Yosemite_Sam]

They took a rare original Ferrari 308 GTB Vetroresina (Fiberglass) with the usual very poor Ferrari chassis as the donor car. They did improve the chassis but a completely new chassis would have been preferable. What was the point in doing this? At least the mechanicals got a refurbishment. Now they have a Fibreglass 308 kit car. What were they thinking?

[@Arthagnou]

how far could you stroke that little V8?

[@cobrapub]

I own 2 308 one a 1979 and a 1982, my question was there ever sold a 308 ralley pack for these cars?!

[@billymania11]

That a lot of work went into the project, there can be no doubt. My question is, “Is this still a Ferrari?” Or is it to be viewed as a former Ferrari that has been resto-modded. I’m asking from an investment perspective.

[@josebrinsenojr208]

A Ferrari is a Ferrari no matter how you make it.

[@bowslap]

If viewed from an investment standpoint....for collectability, it takes a significant impact as the only factory component left is the frame, and even that has been altered.

[@DB-fn3fz]

@@josebrinsenojr208 not a collector Ferrari unless the work is done by Michelotto, Pininfarina, Bertone, Dallara, Zagato, or anyone that worked closely in conjunction with Ferrari of the respective time period. But what we have here is a driver's car, and from an investment standpoint, such cars are making a good comeback in the market due to electrification. As the older generation fades out and the younger generation is introduced to the market, cars like this will become more valuable, in my opinion.

[@tazanteflight8670]

What did you do with the original red metal body panels? Do you sell them, or store them? Or are those white panels the original red ones....

[@rockeroller]

They'd be crazy to not sell original Ferrari parts on ebay or whereever.

[@stefanodimarca6058]

Michelotto replica from 308 donor car?

[@lauriedooker1031]

How flimsy did the chassis look like before the went to work on it ? Very lite and not much there. Get a free chassis when you pay for the engine.

[@martinoonofrio6007]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@paolobocca7543]

It is awesome. But still i wonder what really remains of the original donor car. Only some minor parts of the original metal chassis, and the engine. I'm afraid quite all the car (that was in good shape initially) had to be thrown away (or sold as spares). Body is now fiberglass, interiors are obviously gone, suspension are highly modified.. Does it worth the cost of all this job? It seems easier to build a new one from scratch. finding a ferrari V8 engine should not be difficult. Or at least starting from a crushed car.. i'm sorry. huge perfection job indeed.

[@kasimirdenhertog3516]

This looks like a ‘vetroresina’ 308, so fiberglass body instead of steel. These cars are highly sought after and very valuable. Pretty insane to chop one up!

[@laurapitre5797]

I much prefer the 308 built by Stance Works on KZbin.

[@LHRSBN]

Incredible, fantastic, excellent work! Maybe the next one will be an electric motor conversion? or a convertible?

[@dforreallogup5683]

Cam you imagine a Judd v10 or v8 in one of these old school Ferrari

[@Rod990ktm]

Amazing. Too bad you used a good 308 base, instead of creating a tubular frame from the measurements of the original

[@mouradbenia1704]

How many kg are saved compared to a standard 308?

[@lucasdelfino5358]

A LOT! The standard (steel) 308 is about 3,200+ Lbs (1,500 kg)...

[@weallfollowmanutd]

@@lucasdelfino5358 A 1977 308 Euro version was at 1400kg. The US spec car was around 1500kg. The original fibreglass vetorresina 308 was as low as 1250kg.

[@Rob-vv5yn]

I would guess that car would be 850kgs or less after the conversion

[@rolandsipos5253]

are u sure that you had to waste a ferrari for this,,, pretty much an engine with gbox and a few things could be enough.

[@kasimirdenhertog3516]

What the… Did you actually use a ‘vetroresina’ 308…?! 😳 Why not do it properly and get a 250 SWB or a 300 SL Gullwing, chop that up into a kit car. Honestly, it’s quite painful to watch this sacrilege.

[@greygnu6059]

... and now it worth nothing...
