The engine is in after running it for numerous heat cycles on the engine stand. Next week road testing.
Ready for Reassembly
We brought the Dino back from Brad Diez at Speedzone to begin the 2 month process of getting this Flares and Chairs Dino put back together and on the road. The paint job is stunning with a mirror like finish. 100 hours went into the cutting and polishing!! Definitely a job fit for this rare Dino!
Steering Assembly
A lot of parts for one subassembly. They key was stuck and would not turn, the locksmith was able to get the key out but could not fix it. I got a used key cylinder and attached parts from Bill at GT Parts. Every project presents new challenges
Leaving For the Paint Shop
Mel’s car is off to the paint shop. All the parts have been re-plated in cad yellow, cad clear and black oxide. The powdercoating is complete and now ready to work on all the sub assemblies. I love starting with a clean slate! This will be a stunner with black paint and red interior.
Ready for Engine Install
The engine coming off the test stand ready for install tomorrow!
Another Naked Dino
Now completely stripped, media blasted, primed and ready to go for paint.
Progress
The metal work will be done this week then off to Speedzone for paint, back to original Argento. In the meantime working on parts getting them ready for reassembly of car.
Soon
Some more color sanding and buffing, then the black trim and it comes back for reassembly. The paint really looks awesome, one of the best paint jobs I’ve seen. Brad at Speedzone really came through on this rare Chairs and Flares Dino!
