That ad was just hilarious! 🤣
BALLS to the WALLS!
Original paint color matches the interior.
hilarious ad
@Abe Froman There's already enough red Ferraris in the world, ain't there?
Please keep the car in the original colour. If you must have different colours you could wrap it or buy a bag of skittles.
Or colour it in with a Sharpie 😉
Yeah; much as I like a bright yellow or blue I think for such a rare car it deserves to be put back to original.
Be bold and have a candy apple red Ferrari!!! But, it's your car do what makes you happy!! Good luck!!
On checking rare Ferrari colours of this period it turns out white is rare anyway.
WTF??
keep it as original as possible
The color too please!
That light green was NICE THOUGH!!
WTF????
I assume the paint question is purely to get engagement in the comments, but just in case - please keep it the original white!!
This is exactly what I wanted to see , a full nut and bolt resto .
If it were my car I’d keep it white but it’s your car, your project so it’s however you want it to be !
Keep up the great work, love the channel, love the commitment !
Original white 100%. don't change colour if you're going whole hog on this restoration. ORIGINAL
I agree
The temptation to change the colour is strong but if you want to maximise value go factory original. I'd say screw it choose a new colour!
200% greetings from Amsterdam
I do think so the sills and lower bumpers in the black like the original cars however.... looks way sleeker
definitely white...
Keep it original. You have a piece of history, do not defile it with a different color.
100% this
I must agree
I agree. Besides, white is the only color that goes well with blue interior.
Because he's already "defiled" it with new paint. Once you strip it back to bare metal i doubt it matters what original colour you paint you in terms of value.
@@wmoule You'd be wrong when talking vintage, historic Ferraris.
😂😂😂😂 What a well packaged advert.
Thanks buddy
Scott, your rebuild has been so articulately managed, you could almost paint this any color you want. And it would still be one of the most significant reveals on RUclips. Really great work. 👍🚙
Keep it white looks fresh, only one in white I ever seen 💯💥
British humor in a Manscaped ad is the footage I didn't know I needed today. 😂
That was great.
That was awesome
WTF????
Hilarious
"It does a great job for something so compact!"
You must be exhausted with this project. You now have fans from half the planet cheering you on, don’t quit and thanks for the great content.
Absolutely love the videos! Thanks for sharing 👍🏻
You said it's the only white rhd 512bb. You should keep that.
As much as I love the blue and green coloured cars you flashed up on the screen, I think keeping the car original white is the best choice, keep it as original as possible! Loving this series, can't wait for more!!
No point ripping it all apart for a restore and changing the colour
I am blown away by how you know how to do all of this stuff. As a camera operator, I am fairly mechanically inclined with tech, but this is incredible. Your videos have helped me get through the pandemic for sure. Having used to own a white 1970 911E, I say keep it white. Love the look. Congrats on all your hard work and success! Can't wait for more!
Definitely keep the white in my opinion. It looks great and having an original colour will appeal when you sell it. I guess you will have to sell it at the end.
going to 'try' and keep this but all depends what happens
@@Ratarossa I second this; probably best for resale value to keep the original color.
Well, it's not the original paint anyway... or it doesn't matter for resale value?
@@DavideAnastasia yeah, red Ferraris sell for more.
Stick with the original white, you liked the look of it when you first saw it so why change. Just recreate the tyre pressure stickers. Rock and a hard place with that screen though!
It wouldn't be my colour of choice when bought new, but in this case I wouldn't change it. It's become a phenomenon, partly because of its colour. Having said that, you can of course do as you please.
love the manscaped ad you did i watch alot of youtubers and yours was the best and funny haha, good work on the 512 id go with a a blue and white stripes down the center
I love this stuff! Thanks for bringing us along!
Keep the the original colour. Greetings from Sweden! 👍
In honour of the 70s, keep it in its original pure cocaine white colour.
best manscaped commercial il seen so far!! keep up the hard work man!
you are killing it ........ Good call on the bare metal repaint
100% original color! It was why you fell in love with it in the first place.
When this is finished you will be one of the few people on the planet who can build a 512BB from scratch. Incredible.
thanks paul
Another riveting update. I love these videos and am really enjoying watching this project progress, so thank you for sharing them. As for the colour, normally I am very much a rosso corsa 322 man when it comes to Ferraris, however they do undeniably also look good in white, and since that was the original colour of this one, it does seem appropriate in a nuts and bolts restoration to retain the original colour... at least in my opinion!
Regarding colour, if you are planning on keeping it (and I would find it impossible to let it go after everything you are doing) then you should paint it a colour that makes you happy.
Life is too short to be worried if your car is the original colour or not. So what? It doesn't have the original air in the tyres.
And the two tone paint job on a 512 is absolutely glorious.
You are brave and it is a joy to watch your commitment to this project.
Keep it white, if it’s a 1 of 1 with RHD it would be stupid to change that
Nah pait it any color you want. Keeping it "original" is silly at best.
I have to agree with you for that reason alone, one other reason that I'm not seeing mentioned is because it looks awesome in white, I think it really suits the car IMHO
If you can remove the trim around the windscreen, I would leave the screen in. You can do a quality paint job in around the edge of the screen and then replace the trim over the masking edge when you are done. Looking good, and my hat is off to you sanding all of that paint off manually. Well done.
Cheers Jeff, I think my attack plan is (carefully) remove the trim and see what its like beneath. If there's enough edge around the screen to do a good paint job then thats the plan.... leave it in
If you do remove the screen and it's in good condition then find a company that uses the wire method tooling to cut the bonding away. That's if it's a bonded screen. Won't damage the screen then. 😉
The problem with that is there can be corrosion in the windscreen channel.
@@Ratarossa as long as the seal is good I would leave it in. You have enough expensive parts already. Well done on the fabrication. I could see the grinding wheel flying off the bench : )
@@Ratarossa that's sou d advice from Jeff. Strip the trim and work around the screen being in place. Not worth risking breaking a perfectly good windscreen. Keep it white. On the decals, any decent sign place will be able to work on a photo of them. Love the build scott
Incredibly impressed with how this is coming along! How will you ever remember how to reassemble everything????
I really love the original white color for that car. A close second would be silver.
Think of the money! Will surely be the best documented boxer resto ever! Great job. Have a total swing from envying you to totally not envying you!
I know there are more "desirable" colurs, but if it were mine (dreamin'!) I'd keep it to the factory colour.
1. Original colour (for obvious reasons).
2. Mask off the original windscreen if there is no rust around it.
3. New stickers. There is no way to paint it properly while leaving them on. (+Basically any decal shop can make new ones)
You are doing such a great job. Keep it up!
Big like 👍
Hi Scott... I just want to send you a massive thumbs up. You will see this through. This is a massive project and you are literally into it up to the neck but you’re going to get through!! I can absolutely tell that it’s taken it’s toll but you’ll have a £400,000 car at the end. I just can’t get over how much stuff you’ve stripped off the car... how have you listed it all? Stored it?
Big pat on the back Scott!! We’re all rooting for you!! 🚗 🚘
The white looks so class on this 512, i would keep it
The level of work you're putting into this is something else. Fascinating watching all the progress. Excellent work!
Thank you very much!
It is amazing to watch. Inspiring me NOT to do it myself, but to just live the fantasy through Ratarossa. Keep it up. Thanks for doing what you do!
WTF????
The golden rule is to never change the colour of a car. especially one like this.
Man I love your videos, watch them religiously... There's something satisfying about specifically restoring a ferrari!
Anyway man if you need a good intro song for your videos I will gladly make you something that slaps for your channel free of charge 🤟
For the tyre pressure stickers there is a company called Divine Hand Crafts, they mainly do replacement OEM quality stickers/decals for Lotus cars but I'm sure Dan might be able to help you out
Interesting. I wonder what the legal ramifications are on their ability to recreate stickers with VIN numbers. For example, on BMWs.
The stickers might come off if you warm them up and carefully slide a Stanley blade under them
WTF????
Couldn’t stop laughing watching you use the grinding wheels and securing them to the table with...your hand!
It won't be so funny when he has a serious accident.
I was thinking that... Handheld benchgrinder. New improved appendage removal device
How not to fabricate or weld, really is a joke.
WTF??
Man... the high speed viewing makes it look easy, but this is truly the biggest bummer of any restoration.. I can't imagine the guys who own that shop were thrilled about hearing, and breathing in that environment for several days. Good on ya man! Looking good!
Cheers for the video mate 😎 👌
Original white Scott, all the way! Tyre pressure stickers, steam or heat gun to remove and like you say worst case recreate
it just seems endless. Man, you have patience of a god.
So impressed by how much you are doing yourself. Congrats and keep up the good work.
That's a lot of hard work!
Thanks for the content mate
I say go back to her original white paint scheme, such a rare Ferrari she deserves to look her finest and as original as possible. For all the time and effort you have put in so far make her as original as possible. As for the tire decals wonder if they can be easily reproduced
Thanks for bringing us along. The Boxer is one of my favorite Ferrari’s. You are doing an incredible job.
Keep it up mate ! Great content !
Really enjoying your show, thanks so much - looks great in white I think! I thought the joke about selling the white Ferrari paint was going to go somewhere else, which would have been quite funny also :)
I’d say keep it the same white! I think it looks awesome! It’s rare and shouldn’t be changed. Great video! I’m so excited with this restoration!
Definitely keep it original, the white goes so well with the interior and is truly one of a kind!
Agreed
Great effort. Great seeing transformation. That green looks the goods. Make it stand out and memorable.
I really appreciate someone doing quality work
Impressive crash safety zone up front. And with that big motor behind you looks like you’re a good pad to protect the motor in a frontal crash 💥.
You'll probably need to replace the sticker. As a builder of plastic models my advice is to scan the sticker and recreate it in your computer. Get the proper printer stock to make a new sticker/decal for your door, and then put it on when you finish the repaint. Also, please leave the car the same color. I think it deserves it.
Keep up the good work buddy - looking good
Love this project! Keep up the good work!
Big mistake! They’re only original once. That one had great low mileage paint on it.
No, required repaint. Original means nothing. Needs to fast lap the ring.
In one of the early vids on this car, you mentioned that only a small handful of this model came in white. I think that would be a good reason to keep it the same colour, even if it is no longer original paint.
This is really an intense project. It takes stamina and perseverance to go at like you do day after day. Much respect.
Thanks buddy
Enjoying the series!
😂😂😂😂 the manscape ad had me laughing the whole video
I think that paint was perfect i was shocked to see you removing it. But it’s your master piece.
Should have kept the original paint, but too late now... I thought it was a 1 of 1 car; white and righthand drive. At least keep the original color.
I agree. But Scott is doing a full resto.
I think the paint was salvageable.
I found this channel by accident and loved watching the 512 videos. This sort of thing is an ambition for me - take a car that’s sat on someone’s drive and rebuild it. My input for the questions:
Keep it the original colour!
Man that strip down to bare metal seems like an enormous job. Hat of to you sir for going through with it!!
Dude you really dove in hard on this one! Very impressed so far. Keep it coming!
I was half expecting 'Stepmom' to be ringing your doorbell.... Oh well... lol
LOL
Let's hope that 'Stepmom' stays out of Ratarossa videos! Please!
Stepmom seems like expert consultant on Balls and the Package
WTF????
That is what stepmom said🤣🤣🤣
That's a serious amount of work.
Even Whith all the right tools. Gonna be worth it though. Well done fellah, great job.
So glad to see you putting so much work and effort into this car. This is amazing. I know you're bleeding money but it will be worth it when you're sliding that lever into the next gate with the boxer V12 singing behind you ;)
Great build. Follow your channel for over a year now. Cheers from Holland
Also the manscaped ad was hilarious, well done lol
Even the manscaping product placement had me in tears of laughter! 😂
Oh mate I love the white, but a non red color would be amazing. I really like how that yellow example looked.
Yes, yellow would be fantastic
WTF??
You should keep the original colour, I think. Colour fashion
and goes. What stays is originality!
Nice brussy, love this channel
The AD was my favorite part hahaha WELL DONE
Use a vaccum when sanding the paint!
Have you seen the size of the workshop?
And when using Manscape
WTF??
for the front window id take the trim off if possible and leave the window in place and then just mask it ,simply because if you put the trim back youll never see it again :)
Yep that's the best and easiest way.
Yes I agree, keep the original screen in place. It's not worth the risk to crack it then you'll probably have to have a non genuine screen fitted which will bug you. The trim will hopefully cover the masking lines. Oh and 100% keep it in white, it's too rare to change colour plus white is reasonably fashionable colour these days anyway :-)
WTF??
So much work for one man I'll try to watch more since you don't have time to do anything else 😉
Back sack and samcrac! the best ad i've seen on youtube so far, The Mrs looks happy with it!
Thanks Nick, I had a lot of fun making that ad
@@Ratarossa not too itchy when the hairs grew back? 😂
@@nickbentley8760 Next commercial break will be with Tavarish and his hair re-grow stuff
Any update on the stolen things?
I told ya mate. Your subs were going to blow up! Scott. I know you are a busy man, keep them coming at a furious pace. You’ll be fine!!
Top quality build brother!!! Keep her original🤍🙌🏽
keep going your are getting there and the final results will be outstanding
Keep her white imo, will look so clean when done. I love seeing these relics restored
I think the old-school trick for the sticker was to put some tape over it. The tape has to be strong enough to hold, yet weak enough to come off cleanly. This keeps things together so you can scrape it off.
Masking tape, with something more substantial like metallic tape stuck on as a second layer on top?
WTF??
That's not going to work if he is stripping the paint off.
+1 for keeping the white color, also look for help on the windshield, decals I wouldnt care, excellent job mate, when I encouraged you to embark on this, it was beyond my imagination the amount of work that was ahead
I love how far you are going with it well done it will be worth it in the end 👏👏👍👍👍
Leave the screen in safest bet..
Get that bare metal in primer fast!
I was thinking the same!!
It’s aluminum. Hence, it will not rust. Except for the chassis and brackets
Its alloy. Will be fine with an etch primer
WTF??
@@johnwh1039 gotcha
Loving this restoration! Please keep the original colour.
Car looked pretty solid under the paint, great work keep at it, we are loving watching the transformation 👍👍👍👍
I would say you want to get the screen out, on old cars (I don’t know about the Ferrari) those areas are classic rot points.
Vtuned has a really cool gun/putty knife thing that he uses to get screens out, makes it look easy
You mad lad, awesome work. It has to stay factory color obviously but if I were to do something different, I'd go two tones maybe Yellow on black
Two tone to make it more classy.....????
WTF??
Google the petrolicious article with a yellow 512 BB
Originality is key here mate. If you go down the road of full restoration, keep it factory. Good luck, looking great
Start of the video I thought you looked jacked and I was wondering how you’d been lifting and doing all of this work on the car and the videos. Then you showed the two days of paint removal and it made sense. Hard manual labor is the original cross fit. Disassembling and restoring by hand a hand built classic. This is epic, you are legend. In the end you’ll have one of the most interesting Ferraris on the planet. Also, colors. I hope you choose the color that makes your heart scream with joy every time you see it! Only you know what color that is. Cheers mate!
Literally the BEST advert i've seen on RUclips
