Truong, the carpenter who built a Ferrari 250 for his son. In wood

by admin

ROME – Six years ago the artist and sculptor Livio De Marchi caused a sensation in Venice who – after five months of hard work – had transformed a block of pine into a Ferrari F50 and enjoyed showing it floating through the canals of Venice. Now it is a Vitenamite carpenter, Truong Van Dao, who has created a replica of the Ferrari 250, the Mona Lisa of the Maranello house.

To clarify things immediately: we know very well that there have always been wooden reproductions of legendary machines, but intended as forms of art, therefore immobile. Instead, here we are on another level. In seventy days, this Asian craftsman managed to assemble the replica of one of the most expensive and least accessible cars of the Rossa, then taking it to the street. Painstaking work, with the parts of the wooden bodywork on the chassis, including the sides and rear, and use of a chainsaw after the glue had joined the various parts to recreate the shapes of the Ferrari, including the inlays of the dashboard showing backlit tachometer and odometer and the creation of working direction indicators and optical groups.

Truong’s goal was to make his son, who is passionate about cars, happy. Not having a wallet such as to be able to afford the purchase of cars, in order to see his little boy smile, he put into action what he had: ignorance and talent. So the Asian carpenter first began to make small models (even a Bugatti), and then raised the bar of the challenge, to create real cars, albeit with all the distinctions of the world. In fact, even before the Ferrari 250, he had ‘designed’ an electric and wooden Lamborghini Sian Roaster.

The amazement of friends, and not only, has styled the artist who posted the story of his creation on Youtube ‘Woodworking Art’, capable of producing a speed of up to 25 km / h. As with Ferrari, Truong began by first preparing a platform, positioning the wheels and making it mobile with the power of an electric motor battery. Then he moved on to the hood and everything else.
