On this thrilling episode of Tj Hunt, the team embarks on a daring mission to transform a Ferrari 488 into a GT3 Evo masterpiece. The challenge? Tackling the front end, addressing ride height concerns, and preparing for a grand debut at SEMA. With the discovery of a longer rear quarter fender, the team faces a race against time to modify the wheelbase and maintain the GT3 allure. Enter Oscar, the mastermind behind a bold plan to shorten the rear quarter, craft a new wheel arch, and redefine the fender and side skirt. It's a high-stakes game of precision cuts, meticulous adjustments, and unwavering determination.
As the team delves into the front end, a strategic approach is key. By utilizing innovative techniques like cup bungs and standoff provisions, they aim to minimize fabrication and mounts while ensuring lightweight and rigid support. The intricate process unfolds over weeks, with each cut and modification bringing them closer to their GT3 dream. From cleco clips to temporary fasteners, every detail is meticulously crafted to align the rear quarter with the OEM rear quarter of the car.
Amidst the chaos, Meguiire's products come to the rescue, offering a touch of glamour with a clean sweep of the wheels, tires, and glass. The team's dedication to preserving the GT3 aesthetic shines through as they navigate the challenges of modifying the rear fenders and rear bumper. With a symmetrical wheel arch in sight and the front bumper securely mounted, the project begins to take shape. As the pieces fall into place, the true essence of the GT3 design emerges, a testament to the team's unwavering commitment and passion for the craft.
