Motor is in the car now after a complete rebuild. We ran it on the engine stand for a few heat cycles. Hopefully Mark will be driving soon!!
Motor In!
Media Blast
Now that it is completely stripped, I sent it over for media blast. Rust in the usual spots and a few others! The area under the nose has been cutout and aluminum riveted on. A bit of work on this one!!
Home in San Diego
I brought the Dino from my place in Austin, Texas back to home in San Diego. Time to get busy and get this back on the road. I already have the interior in process
Almost!
Today I delivered Mark’s car to Brad at Speedzone for a final buffing etc. Everything is basically done except engine installation which is next. It’s the first time the wheels have touched ground so the rear is still high as there is no engine and the front will settle in after sitting for a few days. The color looks really good I think and the paint job was outstanding. While delivering Mark’s car I picked up Mel’s black GTS which was just polished out.
Wheels and Doors
Moving along and looking good!
Owners Check Up!
Today, Mark the owner flew in to check the progress of his car and see the paint job for the first time. He decided to stay a few days and help put some of the first parts on the car.
Seats In
Seats are in, all the glass, all electrical checked, door panels tomorrow and reunited with it’s engine next week! Reds don’t photo well and hard to get the right color. The seats are a darker red, more like firewall.
Dino Outing
An outing for the Dino before reassembly starts.
