Dino cancer, Dino media blasting, Jon Gunderson

Rob’s GTS FINALLY was finished as far as the media blasting goes and now awaits a coat of self etching primer before I transport it to Steve Kouracos on Monday. The really nice thing about a clean canvas to work from is that all the cancer spots are exposed and will be dealt with properly with cutting it out and replacing the metal. Without doing this that cancer would of just been hidden under another layer of paint. This is one where the benefits out weigh the cost.

North Hollywood Speedometer

206 sp

For years I have sent my Dino gauges to North Hollywood Speedometer for cleaning and repair. Today instead of sending I hand delivered them to get a look at a legendary shop that has been in the same place sine 1963. The shop was amazing and crammed full of gauges waiting for repair and restoration. Restores from around the world send their gauges here.

Brake caliper rebuild

Ferrari 246 dino rake caliper rebuild, Jon Gunderson, Dino restoration

I send the calipers out to be replated (cad yellow) as per factory and replace all the hardware.. Rebuild kits include all new rubber seals, o rings etc, The fronts are pretty straight forward. The rears are a PITA as the emergency brake is internal in the rear calipers as you can see by the abundance of parts.

Ferrari Dino brake calipers rebuild. dino restoration, Jon Gunderson

More parts getting rebuilt on Rob’s restoration. Today I rebuilt the brake calipers (front and rear), emergency brake, master cylinder and the brake equalizer. I like to go through a whole system and finish all the related parts before moving to another parts group.
