Ferrari 250 SWB No.3
Welcome back to our Archive blog! If you like classic Ferraris, fabrication, and interior trimming, then we have the post for you! These are becoming quite the regular site around our workshop being the third one we have completed, and we are not mad about that one bit! This Ferrari 250 SWB came to us in a similar condition to the previous two, essentially a bare metal shell that requires a FULL interior fabrication and retrim.
Before
Because each of these Ferrari SWBs are hand built, this means that they are ever so slightly different from one to the next. Now this doesn't mean panels are centimetres off, its points of millimetres for some of the interior panels. We make everything here at d:class totally bespoke to the car, so one of the first steps is making sure all of these interior panels line up perfectly before being trimmed and installed.
It is very common for vehicles to turn up at d:class fresh from body shops with no sound deadening. We always use Dynamat Europe for all of our needs, especially the Dynaliner and Dynamat Xtreme.
Sound-Deadening
The seats are the most complex part of the project, as they are essentially metal frames when they arrive, which we then build up into a complete and trimmed pair of seats.
Tan nappa leather was selected for this project, much like the leather chosen for build No2, but in a slightly different shade. Custom foamed bases and bolsters were built up and moulded to accommodate the new leather.
Carpet
The previous 250 SWB had a carpet to match the colour of the car. This time around, the customer has selected the Wilton carpet to match the tan leather found on the door cards, seats and centre tunnel. We love how this ties all of the interior into one, being the same colour, it really gives this vehicles interior a luxurious finish.
Roll Cage
This build is the first that has required the roll cage to be trimmed. At the point of writing this blog, one other car had a roll cage but did not required trimming. Once again, the same tan leather has been used to match the interior with foam underneath to provide a little bit of comfort, if you were to bonk your head from some "passionate" driving.
