Auto Week/Vimeo: New Zealander Rod Tempero builds Ferrari replicars the old-fashioned way, and we don’t mean bolting fenders on a Craigslist Fiero. His cars are made of hand-hammered metal stretched over handmade wooden bucks and shaped with an English wheel with no computers to guide the process.
When you think about it, Rod Tempero and his team of incredibly skilled craftsmen, who also replicate classic sports cars from other legendary marques, haven’t just replicated the look and feel of a vintage Ferrari; with all the form-building, English-wheeling and precision welding that goes into each and every car, they’ve re-created the essence of old-time Maranello as well.
