The first day of reassembly! This time I’m putting more parts on before the fiberglass tub and inner fenders, as I think there will be easier access without having to lean on the car body. I also had Brad leave the doors off to hang at a later time. This is the most satisfying part of the job as it all comes together totally clean, one part at a time.
Now that Mel’s car is at the paints shop I reassembled and rebuilt most of the parts to be ready when it comes back from paint
The engine is in and next week, road testing begins.
The engine is in after running it for numerous heat cycles on the engine stand. Next week road testing.
We brought the Dino back from Brad Diez at Speedzone to begin the 2 month process of getting this Flares and Chairs Dino put back together and on the road. The paint job is stunning with a mirror like finish. 100 hours went into the cutting and polishing!! Definitely a job fit for this rare Dino!
A lot of parts for one subassembly. They key was stuck and would not turn, the locksmith was able to get the key out but could not fix it. I got a used key cylinder and attached parts from Bill at GT Parts. Every project presents new challenges
Mel’s car is off to the paint shop. All the parts have been re-plated in cad yellow, cad clear and black oxide. The powdercoating is complete and now ready to work on all the sub assemblies. I love starting with a clean slate! This will be a stunner with black paint and red interior.
The engine coming off the test stand ready for install tomorrow!
