Lots of progress this week with the reassembly. Next up is finishing with all the fiberglass installation, suspension and wiring.

I try to get it of the rotisserie as soon as possible as it much easier to reassemble on the lift. So I get the fiberglass tub back in and glue in 1″ think high density closed cell foam between the fiberglass and floorpan to cut noise. Ferrari had nothing in between and used tar paper on the top of the fiberglass. So yes this is an improvement that is not visible. I also replaced the fiberglass bottom with aluminum. Hopefully I won’t get a nasty email over this. They switched from fiberglass to aluminum sometime during the 72 production. So now it’s on the lift and I can start reassemble. I usually start in the front where most of the work is and work towards the rear.

Finally back from the paint shop and time to start reassembly!

While the body is at the paint shop, I continue to get the parts put together. I should have the car back in 3 months and I’ll be ready to start reassembly.

And now in sealer, enjoying some Texas sun. Another project for TJ at Colour House of Texas.

We completed the metal work and now it’s had a final media blast. I delivered it to TJ at Colour House of Texas for body and paint. I decided to keep with the original color of Blu Scuro.

Ready to go to body and paint. I decided to go with original specs of Blu Scuro with tan interior and rust carpeting. The only change is daytona seats. Will be done by the end of the year. I’ll probably go with campagnolo wheels as I love the look of non flared cars with the little wider wheels!! The motor block, heads, crank, etc are at the machinist. All the powdercoating is done and all the hardware is at the plater for yellow cad, clear cad and black oxide. Will be all done by the end of the year or before.

Now that 01336 is off to the paint shop I resumed getting 04022 taken apart, off to media blast and now metal work. I thought judging from the outside after blasting I would see lots of damage and rust. To my surprise there was very little previous damage and not much rust. Onward and forward!!
