I was in Spicewood,Texas this past week and got to drive my Challenge Stradale. What a great car!!
Pure Beauty
Coilovers
I prefer custom made coilover shocks on the Dino rather than the original Koni shocks. The coilovers allow for simple adjustment to the handling characteristics as well as being able to adjust the ride height. These are custom made by Nicks Forza Ferrari. The only modification that needs to be made is a slight trimming on the front mounting bracket.
Sparks Flying
The metal work is in full swing right now, repairing old damage and cutting out any rust.
Ceramic Coating
While the metal work progresses, work continues ob refurbishing parts. The Ansa exhaust and headers were ceramic coated and also more chrome, polish and powder coating.
Metal Work
The first metal work was started as there was some damage to the tubes that run under the tub where the clutch cable, hydraulic line and starter cable run through. It was repaired very poorly whomever did the repairs years ago. These are the things you find when you strip a car and the only way a restoration can really be done properly. The car is now with Steve K. for metal. surfacing and paint.
Moving Day
The Dino left the blaster today with a fresh coat of self etching primer and delivered to Steve K. to begin the resurfacing job. In the meantime the motor is being rebuilt at Cavallo Motorsports by a Ferrari Factory trained engine guy.
Dash and Seats
Progress on the interior. Dash is in recovered in the proper mouse hair and Daytona seat.
