I sent the original Koni shocks out and had them rebuilt, the springs were powder coated and the rubber new.
Koni Shocks
Second Primer
Steve K. has finished with the second primer and the frame has been painted satin black. Tomorrow I go to Steve’s paint shop to reinstall the fiberglass which I took out prior to having the car media blasted. I like to get the fiberglass back in before paint to minimize any possible damage that could be done after the car is painted.
Painting the Fuel Tanks
I painted the fuel tanks today with the same material originally used (I think). It’s a Wurth product not available in the USA so I had to smuggle a case of it in from an unnamed source. It goes on very thick almost like drywall splatter, light beige in color.
Media Blast
Media blasted today and now gets a coat of metal etching primer. The blasting revealed no accident damage, which is always a good thing.
Off the Lift and Outside
Now on the rotisserie and tomorrow it goes for media blasting.
AC System
A few more parts done and tomorrow I will start to tackle the AC system. This is new to me as on my 2 Dino’s I removed it during restoration and decided not to put it back on. A lot of weight and not very effective. Interesting as this Dino has a larger outlet from the motor as well as a larger vent attachment at the dash. #08450 has a fan the size of the vent fans and the attachment at the dash fits the standard size vent hose. The 2 other fans are not part of the AC system but will work on those at the same time.
Completely Stripped
The last few parts were removed from 00136 and rotisserie was assembled. Custom mounting brackets will be done tomorrow and the Dino goes to the Media blaster on Thursday.
Another Great Ride
Colnago makes a limited edition “Colnago for Ferrari”. My bike is naked Carbon Fiber completely flawless, a beautiful bike.
