Soul Made: O’Rourke Coachtrimmers
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 сен 2024
- Robert “Rorky” O’Rourke isn’t particularly interested in cars’ engines or their cornering characteristics. Like anyone who spends working hours amongst classic Ferraris and the like, Rorky appreciates the superlative elements of the cars that come to O’Rourke Coachtrimmers, but his company is unwaveringly focused on one element. This is not a one-stop shop for full-car restorations, though if you’re looking for an interior done to a degree of perfection that can only come from an obsessive dedication to craftsmanship, this is the place to get it.
“I like the look of these cars,” Rorky says with a conciliatory tone, covering his bases, but he believes that real beauty isn’t skin deep. “I’m a bit backwards that way. I just like the interiors-I’m really passionate about that and nothing else,” he admits, continuing, “When I go anywhere and see an old race car, the first thing I look at is the seats.”
The combination of Rorky and his team’s accumulated hands-on knowledge and the narrow scope of their services has made O’Rourke Coachtrimmers the kind of company that people seek out when they’re only seeking the highest quality. After trimming the interiors of nearly countless Ferraris, Rorky can certainly be considered a master of the trade by now, but one of the more common denominators among people like that is a need for challenge. O’Rourke Coachtrimmers doesn’t shy away from the obscure, and while the team has made this specialized skill set into something more like instinct at this point, each new job is taken as an opportunity to keep learning.

When you have the money, you find masters like this. They only do one thing but they do it incredibly well.
Thank you!
@@OrourkeCoachtrimmers I really enjoyed this video and your true craftsmanship. You gained a new subscriber!
That´s why having money is so great.
if you own a valuable car which deserve some kind of cures...you have to rely on a good doctor
“When you’re cuddling a woman I’m always picking to see how things are finished” What a line.
Hahaha, hope you enjoyed the video!
Very interesting, I always have deep respect for old school craftsmanship. A good trim and a cold beer, yes sir 🍺👌
Thank you! Cold beer sounds like a great idea
"Yes babe you've got an amazing body but TAKE A LOOK AT THE STITCHING ON THIS LINGERIE YOU'RE WEARING!! Now that's craftsmanship!"
Really refreshing video and perspective. The kind of man who wants to get a woman out of her knickers so he can check out the stitching..... lol. Great video.
Hahah...... Hope you enjoyed the film.
What a lovely collection of cars they have in the shop! My my that 250 TdF sure looks like chassis # 0585, fantastic!
Wow ..... that amount of perfection is realy nice to see.
Sometimes i wish i would be rich so i could hire people like him to help me restore my cars.
A wonderful peek at the world of "trimming cars"... Thanks.
I've seen a lot of nice Ferrari's, Aston's and Porsche's with horrible black interiors. I always thought to myself "If I had the money, I'd get it retrimed in tan, or red, or blue leather depending on the exterior color. I would love to do what he's doing. This sort of hand craftsmanship is so very underrated. Thank you.
Hi Rob, nice to se the developing over the years !
I too, get excited by a piece of trim!
After making seats for a speedster I can truly appreciate this video and only wish it was longer, much longer. Kudo's
Thank you, we have a few videos over on our channel if you want more!
Truly fantastic work 👏
Lindo trabalho de artesanato, para recuperar maravilhas como essas do vídeo. Parabéns
Thank you for your service 🖖
thanks mister. restoration and fine work, more vids of your truth please.
Thank you, we have a number of videos over on our channel if you'd like to see more!
Class.
Now there's a bloke I'd gladly sit and have a pint with.
Great video
This guy is a legend!!!!
THX 😊☀️
Somebody should have given this guy a heads up about his collar, idk how they didn't realize it was flipped up.
He must be hateful towards Tesla interiors and I can't blame them. They're the worst!
why? seems like it would be truly interesting to re-trim one, just like a nice old aston zagato. I bet it is not easy to make that happen with the huge display and no gauges. show the tesla guys how it is done. I bet they would take pointers.
Can’t trust anyone with a popped collar.
I can imagine getting teased for learning to sew in high school home economics class, then getting the last laugh by earning ridiculous sums of money restoring the interiors of vintage super cars.
I think it was James Krenov, master cabinet maker, who kept a bin full of failed attempts that he called "the path to success".
I accompanied a friend there who was having a Lusso re-trimmed a few years back. It was a joy to see the craftsmanship of true artisans and he was an incredibly funny sharp witted person too giving me music recommendations. They looked like they had laughs all day long.
Glad you enjoyed your visit. It's changed a fair bit since then, hoping to hold an open day in the summer if we can.
Brilliant. Great to see one or two younger men in the workshop, hopefully they have the same commitment you have, and will continue to enhance todays classic cars.
I am in Awe of people who do this job, and especially do it well.
cruel bastards ... let 'im go on 'n on with his collar flipped up like that
Cruel indeed.....
Nice film, thank you.
Wonderful skills, gorgeous video! Trimming is inspirational
It’s nice to see someone so passionate about their job. Great stuff.
Beautiful looking detail 👍👍
Gold
Reminds me of that episode of Nip/Tuck where the surgeon had a furniture fetish and got fired for fucking a couch 🤣
Well done sir a true mark of craftsmanship ,perfection and pursuit of happiness... 👏👏👏👍
Thank you!
Loved that...
You can’t beat that intro statement.
