Fiat G.59
another project in the facility is Jerry Yagens Fiat G.59 project. A lot of work for the sheetmetalworkers. Thousends of parts, reconstructed by the fantastic team. What a job. But what should I say, these guys are really artists. Its stunning. They look at those parts and some “seconds” later the reconstructed parts lies on the workbench, exact the same shape. What the hell is CAD ? I love it to look at their work, cause to me as a banker, its incredible was two hands can do
old parts and reconstructed parts
every piece is handmade

stock-exhausts 65mm
and those glass-sparkplugs for dehyrdating the engine while transport
Millimeterwork ….. the engine should sit exactly over the attachmentpoints .. difficult work for Felix and the team. But all are more than highly concentrated. It is one of those very special moments in the shop
sits in place
the team calms down, stress is falling down, some minor works are to be done
And Felix, responsible for that project, tries some moves. Think he is very happy 😀 I told him that I will post those pictures in the world-wide-web, I think he will b e not amused, but that is webmasters fun :diablo::diablo::diablo: A lot of fun at that Friday afternoon after the work was done.

Marc and the canopy. The dismantling of the canopy and its frame is a not so easy job. You should be very careful. One fault and you have an expensive problem. After dismantling the panit of that canopyframe will be washed off, the frame checked and painted again.
