The work continues on Rob’s 74 GTS. More and more parts are looking better than factory new.
Rebuilding More Parts
Glass
The front and rear glass went in today. The rear glass is very tricky as you actually have to flex the glass a good amount to get it in!
Rebuilding Suspension
Now that the parts are all plated and the new bearings, bushings and seals have come in, it’s time to rebuild everything to like new.
Dino Paradise
It doesn’t get much better than this!
Eye Candy
I picked up all the various parts I had replated in either clear cad, yellow cad or black zinc. I love when it all laid out, it looks like Dino jewelry. Robs car is still being media blasted and expected to go to the paint shop next week where Steve Kouracos will work his magic. During that time I will rebuilding and refurbishing all the parts I took off that Dino.
Dino Interior
Work is starting on the interior including the doors. The doors are one of the hardest jobs in my opinion and take a significant amount of time to put new rubber, window channel and new window scrapers in. The locks have to be adjusted just right for them to work properly and the windows need adjusted correctly to smoothly go up and down. The vinyl that is glued down goes in first including the sills and rear window surround. The back glass can now go in. The rear leather on the back wall is also glued in place.
Trim Screws
It is very important to use the appropriate trim screws and washers for the interior restoration. This is what $750 worth of the correct items looks like! They’re not cheap, but neither is a Dino.
but neither is a Dino.
Oro Kelso Progress
Some progress pictures as Oro Kelso comes back together wearing it’s Pininfarina special color.
