Grunge work today, cleaning the fiberglass panels of old paint and undercoating.
Cleaning Fiberglass
Off to Media Blast
Today the Dino went off to be media blasted. Should be done friday, which then tells the whole story. The car is naked with nothing to hide!
Soon!
Paint next week, then reassembly starts the following week. An excellent choice of color and back to original color!!
Phase 1 Complete
Phase 1 consists of completely stripping every part off the car and taking apart anything that came off and sorting parts for various platings or powder coat and send the body off for media blasting to remove every bit of paint, undercoat etc.
Let’s Go All the Way!
It was decided to go all the way with the restoration so more parts came off today including the wiring. One more day to finish this part of the job, with everything stripped off and sent to be media blasted.
Off to the Paint Shop
Today we loaded it onto the trailer for the short trip to the paint shop. Brad Diaz at Speedzone is going to do all the body and paint on this rare Ferrari Dino 206. This is the 18th car out of 152 made.
USA Lights
The USA models had large rectangular sidelight reflectors, rear reflectors, vertical indicator lights and all red tail lights. In the interest of originality all the USA lights will go back on. The plastic housings will be sent out for vacuum metallizing.
Lots of Dirty Parts
These parts I am getting ready for their various finishes. Powder coating, cad plating and zinc plating.
