I am a 65 year old, retired American cancer survivor and I never miss an episode! Regarding the brake lines, why not have new ones made (or use the existing lines) and have them powder coated. I am restoring my 2001 C200 Kompressor and I have been sand blasting and powder coating all of my metal parts for years (and always like you reinstall with new bolts, washers and nuts), as long as the heat doesn't exceed 225 F / 110 C degrees. I love your channel and especially the 512 BBI! Keep up the great work! My favorite youtube channel!!!
Yep agree with this - love the content but the constant product placement spoilt it that I didn’t watch to the end - totally appreciate sponsors are key in this business though
I'll admit, I didn't think much of the BBi's looks when you first picked it up. I was still excited for the project though. Since the front end has been rebuilt, it's grown on me. It's quite the looker. Hope you're ready for the last 10% of the work to take 90% of the time!
I rebuilt a Husqvarna adventure bike last year and feel your pain on finding the nuts and bolts along with the brackets. Given the work you have put into this, plus rebuilding a couple of other cars, I am impressed that you have it all going so well. Looking forward to following the process to completion. A 512 was the first Ferrari I ever drove. You'll love it.
I'm a 'Cuda Vert guy, but, your BBI was stunning the day you bought it. It is a car I could appreciate on day 1. This car does deserve the minutiae attention you are piling on it and I do love the process of you giving the love and attention this car truly deserves. Good job.
I did a bit of resto on a mini and I found that taking pictures beforehand and then separating the bolts and bits into their respective bins made a huge difference when putting it back together. I had about 200 plastics bags but they were all labeled, made it really easy and fast.
God, I love this rebuild! A truly beautiful, rare Ferrari, lovingly being restored by an amazingly passionate, highly knowledgeable and skilled expert, who insists that every last nut and bolt be correct and perfect. And if that wasn't enough, it's all delivered to us, the eager viewers, in the most engaging, interesting and entertaining way possible! Scott, you deserve your own TV show to showcase your talents with these classic Ferraris. It would be a damn site better than 99% of the dross currently being shown!
Seeing a car of this rarity and worth being assembled in a tiny garage and on some garden bench with so much passion instead of a shiny bling bling Ferrari workshop makes this channel heartwarming fascinating… 👍👍👍👍
I am surprised that Ferrari are not paying you to do this. What a perfect job and a total delight to watch every second of it. Thanks. I hope to see this car at some point in the future. Any plans to display it?
Given how good this looks, and the fact it's been a nut and bolt restoration, I do hope you're planning on taking it to a few shows before parting with it.
RUclips has completely changed my entire reality of a Ferrari. When I was a kid on the 90s with the F40 on my wall, I had Ferrari on this unattainable pedestal.. like it was this perfect machine that could only be touched with white gloves. Guys like this man have shown me that the difference is minimal between working on my Acura Integra or Civic in the driveway and a Ferrari. It's just a machine with its own unique quirks.. its not some mythical God like creature and that is pretty cool 😎
Thanks buddy that was always my plan to show they are just a car like any other but with a fancy badge. It has mean that demystifying this stigma has lead to many of my viewers being able to buy and attain their dream car and not worry so much able maintaining them or not using them.... its just a car
What an amazing journey. From pining for something that you weren't sure you'd be able to acquire, to getting it, to this incredible transformation. I hope you do some sort of profit analysis on this one similar to the Scud. My guess is that you've created tremendous value in this car from its beginning.
Beautiful attention to detaul. Cleaned, repaired and looking as if it has just come from the factory. Looking forward to the next video. Keep up the great rebuild
Did a full nut/bolt restoration on a 72 triumph t150v a few years back, I sent every piece and bracket to Cadmium plating in one bucket and it was a nightmare sorting through to find the correct pieces for everything after, I can’t imagine how much more you have for an entire car. One bit of advice I got after I was doing it was to lay the nuts and bolts on a xerox and then label it on the paper after the copy is made. I didn’t have a xerox in my garage so I couldn’t do it but it could be helpful to you in the future for a time saver.
You have made this car a masterpiece! I truly hope you and the family get to enjoy it together before it passes on to fund your other projects. I so glad I've followed you on this quest! Aloha!
@@stoneman8110 he already has lol. His lack of organization when he took the car apart really surprises me. He's really paying the price for it now unfortunately. I'm rooting for him but I'm somewhat skeptical this car will ever be together.
What a journey this has been. It's been fascinating. Can't wait for you to take that first drive in it after the HUGE amount of work you've both put in.
When you go to install the lower valance, set it in the sun for an hour and leave the car in he shade in the garage. The lower valance will expand slightly and the front car will “shrink” in the shade and that lower valence will slide right into place. Did this with my 308 and it was easy as could be.
Scott, 2 things: I'm not sure what you were referring it by "hitting breaking point" in the title, but I've NEVER seen you hit a breaking point in any of your builds! And 2nd, when you started putting the pedal box in, my first thought was "WRONG SIDE OF THE CAR!" (hey, it's early Saturday morning here in the states). Having SO MUCH FUN following your resto of this amazing car. Give Own a high-five for all the work he's doing!
OMG Scott, you are probably almost verging on being certifiable! My wife is a psychiatrist and she thinks you need therapy! I don't though as I have also been diagnosed as being 'Ferrari mad'... I love that you are bringing this beautiful (and rare) car back to life. When you are finally finished it will probably be the best 512 BBi in the world! Will be worth at least £400K. It's been a blast watching the whole story so far, I wish you the best with the rest! Cheers from a slightly damp Otford, Kent.
I reckon you're going to have to use aerospace procedure and mark ALL fasteners that are tightened/torqued as you go (with a blob of something you can easily pick off when it's finished). ETA >> should of said though, this is a blinding project, one the best I've ever seen on YT.
I love to see how your 512BBi gets back the glory it must have had when it left the factory. Back in the seventies when I was a teenager I had 2 posters in my room, one with a 288GTO and one with a 512BBi. 50 Years later to me these models are still the most beautiful designs form Pininfarina. On Eric Clapton's album "Slowhand" - the gatefold version - there is a picture inside of a wrecked Ferrari. He must have used a little too much cocaine that day. At first I thought he crashed a 512BBi but since his car had 6 taillights it must have been a 365 GT4 BB. I didn't know the 512BBi had a older brother. I hope to see you and your white beauty soon when you go for a road trip trough Belgium, maybe doing some laps on the Zolder circuit. Thank you for keeping us up to date with you videos !
My ocd is through the roof seeing all those nuts bolts washers etc. So surprised that they weren't organised as they came off the car. Really hope the car gets together as it should. Looks great 👍
I’m guessing that’s probably a PVF (Poly Vinyl Fluorine) coating or an epoxy coating of some sort. I can’t find that exact color in the PVF coated lines though so I’d probably just coat any line you find in a matching grey epoxy to get the look you’re after.
Coming along Great Scott. Wish could help with the brake line. All I can imagine is a PFV coated brake line that's light gray instead of the typical dark gray or green. I can see maybe applying the correct color shrink over standard brake line to get the right look. Also I hope you can get better sponsors than Tem00 though.. *shudder*.......
I have really enjoyed watching the rebuild of this older 512 I have no idea about Ferrari's and I live in the Canadian Northwest so seeing any old Ferrari is either a paperweight or completely restored and very expensive so it's quite unique and you know like the one that's sitting in your driveway I mean it's cool don't get me wrong but seem as old one I think it's so much better cuz it's vintage it's it's heritage and history keep up the good work I'm excited to see it roar.
Your welcome mate. Gotta say this is going to look absolutely stunning when you are finished. Great work! I completely understand why you have problems finding stuff. I guess as Men we always put stuff in a too off a great place . It happens to me all the time. But 90% off the time the wife has put it somewhere else 😂

This has just been an amazing series to watch. Much respect for keeping this amazing car from rotting to obscurity.
Thank You
@@RatarossaBeautiful work on a beautiful car! Well done!
I love the fact that a lot of this work gets done on a driveway in suburbia.
Temu.... instant landfill merchant. Love your channel and i appreciate sponsors help massively but tbis was like watching bid up TV. 😅
Agreed but I'd say: let the nice Ferrari Man make some money to support his work and ignore the shitty corporation. They can choke on it.
Not into pushing the cheap tat all video at all. That was annoying.
Yep agree with this - love the content but the constant product placement spoilt it that I didn’t watch to the end - totally appreciate sponsors are key in this business though
Being as rare of a car as this thing is, it’s well worth the time and money to do it right. Very nice work, and that paint job is stunning! 👍
Thanks buddy

Yes everything on this takes much much longer than i plan
PVF coated brake lines. I’m pretty sure they are what you are looking for. Great work on this build. All your videos are very entertaining
thanks very much
The real hero is the guy sorting the bits into separate piles! :)
100% agree ... thats saved me a load of time hunting each one down

I agree, labelling everything to the best of your ability is helpful. Still a puzzle months or years later but it's a help.

@@Ratarossa And some rattlecan spraying some brackets replicates exactly the original Ferrari build quality ! 🤣
I love this car. I rode in one in Las Vegas 25 yrs ago even 30 mph was thrilling to me a car geek Thanks for sharing
I am surprised that Ferrari are not paying you to do this. What a perfect job and a total delight to watch every second of it. Thanks. I hope to see this car at some point in the future. Any plans to display it?
Thank you and yes i would love to display it for all to see once its complete
A very worthy car of a nut&bolt restoration. Things are really moving along since leaving the body shop! It looks amazing
Given how good this looks, and the fact it's been a nut and bolt restoration, I do hope you're planning on taking it to a few shows before parting with it.
Its on a show already !

Thank you so much!
I've been watching this restoration since day 1. This car needs to go into the Ferrari Museum, some museum.
It will be a piece of art when finished
More videos on this car please!! Love to see this finally come back together!!!!
On it!
Your going to need your own museum to put this work of art in
wow, just freaking wow!!!!!!! this is going to be a brand new car, my hat off to the great work
thanks so much
Nice one Glad to hear the Blackbird is still happy singing You make your own Luck.😊😊😊😊
Over the years I've discovered that the best way to figure out what goes in where and when is to do it twice or maybe three times.
I would say easily one of the best rebuilds !
This literally 💦 over what anyone else is doing here in the uk !
thank you
Beautiful attention to detaul.
Cleaned, repaired and looking as if it has just come from the factory.
Looking forward to the next video.
Keep up the great rebuild

Going to be so good to see this car back on the road.
Loving this build :) I wonder how many screws/nuts/brackets/other bits you'll have leftover when you've finished!!!!
Scott won't lose any .
@@stoneman8110 he already has lol. His lack of organization when he took the car apart really surprises me. He's really paying the price for it now unfortunately. I'm rooting for him but I'm somewhat skeptical this car will ever be together.
or how many are missing
Them horns don’t look standard it’s crazy that they are haha, pristine work as usual! Keep it up pal
Thanks a ton!
I had exactly the same on my Alfetta GTV. It's an Italian thing.
Fantastic work it's so good seeing you put I back together
What a journey this has been. It's been fascinating. Can't wait for you to take that first drive in it after the HUGE amount of work you've both put in.
You have an amazing brain mate. To remember every bolt and sort everything out, does not look easy.
When you go to install the lower valance, set it in the sun for an hour and leave the car in he shade in the garage. The lower valance will expand slightly and the front car will “shrink” in the shade and that lower valence will slide right into place. Did this with my 308 and it was easy as could be.
I appreciate it's all about personal taste but, I think that this is going to turn out to be one of the most beautiful cars I have ever seen.

Hi Scott, try searching for 'PVF coated steel brake line', it might just be the thing you're looking for to replace the brake lines.
Thanks for the tip!
OMG Scott, you are probably almost verging on being certifiable! My wife is a psychiatrist and she thinks you need therapy! I don't though as I have also been diagnosed as being 'Ferrari mad'... I love that you are bringing this beautiful (and rare) car back to life. When you are finally finished it will probably be the best 512 BBi in the world! Will be worth at least £400K.

The little commercial pop ups are incredible haha
Thanks
This is gonna be epic when it's done, will love to know the final spend vs what's it worth
It’s coming together. Can’t wait to see your first test drive
I reckon you're going to have to use aerospace procedure and mark ALL fasteners that are tightened/torqued as you go (with a blob of something you can easily pick off when it's finished). ETA >> should of said though, this is a blinding project, one the best I've ever seen on YT.
been watching this from the start, like i can't wait when you start it up first time!!!
I love to see how your 512BBi gets back the glory it must have had when it left the factory.

great comment. I would love a 288GTo also but sooooo expensive now. i might build a tribute to use on track, what do you think ?
So much work done - it all looks fresh - respect
Looking forward for the project to be finished! It’s gonna be awesome!❤
Can't wait!
So happy to see this project coming back together!
That Pininfarina design is possibly the most beautiful body ever put on a car.
That car is stunning. Such a great job Scott.
It's real pleasure to watch the bbi becomming together.
thank you
Can't wait to see this project come together. 👍
Just loving watching my bedroom poster icon being built like new on the front drive. Insane! Well done!
Thanks a ton!
Love this restauration series. I does look like chaos with all your screws, washers, brackets and other small parts all in one big box :D
gradually sorting those out
My ocd is through the roof seeing all those nuts bolts washers etc. So surprised that they weren't organised as they came off the car. Really hope the car gets together as it should. Looks great 👍
It is immensely satisfying to see this come back together.
I can't wait to see that car running and driving!
Wow its looking fantastic. Looking forward to seeing it finished
That is a beautiful motor. A real classic.
Thanks
Coming together nicely
Great build…loving this
This BBI is going to be so amazing! Can't wait to see it rip down the road.
me to, it will be so great to drive
Good job including your sponsors products in the video.
Thank you!
Amazing restoration!!
Thank you! Cheers!
It’s wonderful to see this car nearing completion. This is just epic!
I’m guessing that’s probably a PVF (Poly Vinyl Fluorine) coating or an epoxy coating of some sort. I can’t find that exact color in the PVF coated lines though so I’d probably just coat any line you find in a matching grey epoxy to get the look you’re after.
You wont want to sell it when it's done! Hopefully the channel allows you to have this and the f40 build. Great work mate 👌
I would really really love that if possible
Another excellent episode 👍🏻👍🏻

The build of the Century!, Looks so pure in white🤤😎, such a neat resto👌👌👌
Thanks buddy
cool video Dave, i really liked this one
the badge on the front grill looks like a unicorn :D
My heart when your using a pry bar on the door😮😮😊
I know it was a bit sketchy but did the trick
Congratulations!! This car is just badass, and one of my faves growing up. And what a unicorm in white!! Now just gotta get er done!!
Right on!
Congrats!!! It’s coming together!! Can’t wait for next one
thanks
Absolutely EPIC Sir.
Thank you
I can't wait to see the result. What an impressive car 👍
thanks
This is amazing, well done an amazing accomplishment
You with this 512 and Tavarish with his P1!
…what else?!

Thanks so much for the kind words. Yes I really cant wait for this to be fully dont and hear that engine roar
Amazing build loving it keep it going
Enjoying this build Scott. Can't wait for the completion. About time you guys got a workshop.
working on it
Awesome content, keep it up ! Love from Mexico !
❤loving this BBi rebuild . What a cracking car it's going to be when finished..worth a fortune
can't wait to see the BBI on Concorde classic car show
After all this time, it’s like watching someone fitting the last pieces of a jigsaw - extremely satisfying
Thanks buddy
Love this build and these sort of vids
Thank you
Loving this series on the 512 BBi. Great work Scott!
@Ratarossa - Regarding your brake lines, make them up with stainless steel tubing and get them powder coated.
My understanding is that you can't use stainless for brake pipes as it work hardens and fractures over time.
The 1st time you switch the key on this engine will be eargasm for sure 😊
Very glad to see you listened to my spanner advice from the last video 😂
Keep doing your thing. Cracking to watch.
Much appreciated!
Your welcome mate. Gotta say this is going to look absolutely stunning when you are finished. Great work! I completely understand why you have problems finding stuff. I guess as Men we always put stuff in a too off a great place . It happens to me all the time. But 90% off the time the wife has put it somewhere else 😂
LOL so true
BBi baby!! 👏
Thanks so much Steve. Hope you are enjoying the BBi rebuild
Great content! Looking forward to seeing more.
we call it Servo here also, I just couldn't remember that when I was filming LOL
Nice work 👌....brake booster is the American term for Brake servo...
Just loving the Chanel again now the BBi is in rebuild 👍🏼
