I'm sure there are plenty of people on the forum that can appreciate this:

That was great! I love the passion.

That's awesome! I love to see people passionate about something. They showed all those metal patterns and I actually got chills thinking about the history of that shop. When you do a great job success follows you!

Unbelievable. This is why Ferrari is the ultimate sports car. Engineering, beautiful lines, coach built bodies and history.

.....yep.....im a grinder

That guy was 74?! Wouldn't want to piss him off.

The guy building my car is shaping a T-bucket body from scratch and I have seen the bucks and hammer and wheel work to get the body into shape and it is a relatively "simple" design compared to these Ferrari's. I can't imagine the hours it has taken to develop those bucks and the number of hours of work that goes into each body.

all i can saw is wow! very impressive, like art work

Ultimate Respect.

I've spent much of the last year jumping feet first into the metal shaping side of the custom car world and it is a HUGE undertaking. A true art that will take a lifetime to master. Guys like this are a dying breed and I'm glad to see the resurgence in young artists like Kyle Yocum that at 25 can do amazing things with metal. If you want to see Ferrari restoration work domestically check out Motion products in MI... I got to meet Austin Paruch at the Baileigh Training Classes... amazing the kind of work he does with the English Wheel and mid 30's ish I'd guess.

True Living Art.

Very cool to see what these guys can recreate
My Pantera club has visited Moals shop the last
two years. Looking at repair of damaged cars,
a $14 miilion dollar ferrari shell and even work on
some aircraft parts is amazing. They even make their
own aluminum body cars

I love the fact that we do have younger guys learning
this trade and even thinking outside the box. Just like
our Lateral G fabricators
