Teamed up with the great Bogan once again. And This time it's a car.
RAN INTO A LOT OF DIFFICULTIES. IF ANYONE HAS PICTURES OR EXPERIENCE RESTORING 50S FERRARIS PLS LETS US KNOW. TOO BAD THERE'S A THING CALLED FERRARI CLASSIQUE. ALL THEY HAVE ARE PART CATALOGS AND HISTORY BUT NO RESTORATION PICTURES.
Hey @BoganBoganTheMan Jay Lenos Garage featured the sister car of 290mm!!! Video Link They went very in-depth, this is going to help SO much

They should be matte grey but they were just test-fitting the parts so all the paint got stripped
Both pics are provided by Ferrari Club of Ireland. Club of America did not reply my email

Chassis Pictures Collection
ONLY THE 2nd (bare chassis under restoration) and 4th Picture are of the 290mm
The Third picture is of the 355s, which has a structure similar to the 290mm
The first pic of an earlier Ferrari (Spring 1952) frame does not mean much but gives a rough idea of 50s Ferrari tubular frame construction methods
Here are the videos:
