I received the engine which was rebuilt by Patrick Ottis. I was quite surprised at the cosmetics considering his reputation. NO WAY was that going in Eric’s Dino, it would of stuck out like a sore thumb. I removed a lot of bits and pieces for plating, tumbling, powder coating and cleaning. Already looking much better! There must of been some miscommunication between the owner and the shop concerning cosmetics.
In the paint booth today!!. Brad has done another fabulous Dino paint job. Reassembly starts the week after Bella Italia. The plan is to have it there on the rotisserie for just another view of a Dino on the lawn.
The color chosen for this Dino is Blue Sera Metallizzato. We had it matched to the original color book . These are the spray outs for color approval.
All the surfacing, metal work etc is done and now to the next phase. The plan is to show it at Bella Italia April 26th freshly painted and on a rotisserie!
Eric’s Dino is moving along with most of the interior in, including the dash. The replacement windscreen was etched with original logo.
We started on the interior today. We’re using a deep dark red, which will look stunning with the Argento interior. Headliner, leather rear wall and Dino vinyl sills today.
Updates of the reassembly of the 72 GT.
Almost finished with getting all the fiberglass back in, everything sealed up and all new brake lines. A few more small projects and the wiring is started working from front to rear. With the wiring complete in the front the grill and bumpers go on.
