it's ray from pro shaper workshop in
0:04
charlton massachusetts you're looking at
0:06
a 300s maserati
0:09
in o63 aluminum it was made by the
0:12
students at the four day class last
0:14
weekend
0:15
and they worked friday saturday sunday
0:18
and monday on it it was jason
0:22
jim
0:23
keith
0:24
and roland
0:26
and roland and keith were from
0:28
canada keith stayed for
0:31
i think nine days
0:34
and roland was one of the uh winners of
0:36
my 10-day apprenticeship contest
0:39
so he's been here 10 days this is his
0:41
last day
0:42
roland you want to come into the picture
0:45
is rolling
0:47
rolling uh
0:49
have you had fun making this yeah it was
0:51
great yeah it's a huge learning
0:54
experience
0:55
yeah and you hadn't done a reverse curve
0:58
before no i've never done a reverse
1:00
curve i've never tipped an edge before
1:01
so there's a lot of new things and most
1:03
of the panels you made were small panels
1:06
yeah you would never have undertaken
1:08
anything like this before
1:10
yeah doing little patch panels and all
1:12
right little dinky stuff at all and do
1:14
you think you could uh take this
1:15
challenge on now
1:17
oh yeah yeah you could go home and do
1:19
something yeah once you like break it
1:21
down it's not uh it's not nearly as
1:23
intimidating as i thought it was yeah
1:24
and then and the wire form buck
1:27
it's just super simple yeah they make
1:30
you can weld right on it and if panels
1:32
fit to it you clamp to them yeah and you
1:34
have to change something that's super
1:36
easy to change and modify yeah yeah
1:39
yeah we made a few adjustments we didn't
1:41
get the grill opening totally done it
1:43
needs to be rolled around
1:45
the modified uh
1:47
half inch tubing that we put in there
1:49
replace the the wires that were in there
1:52
and uh mostly uh roland and keith have
1:56
done uh the majority of this work here
2:00
and it there's a few places still need a
2:02
little tuning
2:03
uh you can show them where that fill
2:05
piece has got to be made yet we've got
2:07
to do the little fill by the
2:08
headlight we got to make a little we
2:10
never even got a chance to get to that
2:13
and we got some welding to do
2:15
but we got you know a good section of
2:17
the nose
2:19
the hood keith
2:21
and roll and made that hood you can see
2:23
it's just stunning
2:24
it's really really nice
2:27
the actual dashboard piece is a steel
2:29
piece from the old steel body that we
2:30
made earlier that's still got to be done
2:34
and i got a class starting friday
2:36
um
2:37
in that class we'll probably be working
2:40
on this project too maybe we'll do a
2:42
little bit more on the nose
2:44
and a little bit on the rear end of it
2:47
but
2:48
it still has a lot of welding to do a
2:50
lot of trimming a lot of edging
2:52
but you can see the essence of the
2:54
design this is one of the most
2:55
spectacular
2:57
uh sports car designs ever 19
3:00
i think probably about 53 was the first
3:02
version of it and this i'm calling this
3:04
a 55.
3:06
it has uh on this side it's got a
3:08
cross-flow six cylinder engine in it
3:10
maserati engine but that's impossible to
3:13
get so i'm gonna put probably a jag six
3:15
in it
3:16
and um this exhaust is on this side
3:19
and down below the door maybe you can
3:21
point that out
3:23
rolling down below the door the outside
3:25
pipes come right in there right where
3:26
he's pointing
3:28
and it looks really sweet
3:30
and the back end on this thing is just
3:32
spectacular so
3:34
uh probably next week we'll have another
3:36
update on
3:38
how the maserati is coming
3:40
so remember it's ray from pro shape a
3:42
workshop
3:44
uh we don't cut cars up and mig weld
3:46
them together we actually take and
3:49
make all the panels
3:51
organically an english wheel
3:54
we have a power hammer we don't use that
3:56
we prefer the english wheel it makes a
3:58
beautiful finish
4:00
we tig weld
4:02
we get really good results without tig
4:04
welding
4:05
and i found over the years that anybody
4:08
that really wants to do this can do this
4:12
it's
4:13
a lot of patience is the key to it
4:16
and uh the results are spectacular and
4:19
the cost of making something like this
4:21
is not that expensive the materials you
4:24
add them all up it's
4:25
minimal and
4:29
if you put a jag 6 engine you can buy a
4:31
jag 6 and a tremex 6 speed and the jack
4:34
you buy a
4:36
an 83 or 84 xj6 rust bucket save the
4:41
motor it's got fuel injection you put
4:43
weber's on it you got an independent
4:45
rear end you can put into it you use the
4:47
jag front end bits
4:49
and
4:50
the seats get minimal you can get fancy
4:53
with it if you want it doesn't have a
4:55
top you could make a top
4:57
so it's just an outstanding design i
4:59
think it's a
5:01
97 inch or a 98 inch wheelbase i'm not
5:04
sure how to check that but it's it's
5:07
under 100 anyways
5:09
it was designed by monado fantuzi
5:12
he worked in a corner in the back of
5:14
maserati when he came up with this
5:16
design and everybody copied them it's
5:18
just so awesome
5:20
so i can't wait to get this thing done
5:22
we did it before in steel before coving
5:24
and then i parked it
5:25
and now i'm really excited about getting
5:27
it finished
5:28
