I picked up my plating in LA and now I can rebuild more parts. Today was the Handbrake assembly, wiper assembly and the shift assembly with Wevo internals.

Lots of parts came today!!!

These are some of the reinforcements I’m doing. Front swaybar mount, Front strut, rear spring plate, rear shock tubes, front shock tubex, new rear sway bar mounts (not shown). This is going to be a street car, is undercoating recommended as original on these early 911’s?

I love the shape of both the Dino and early 911. The dino has all the curves and compound curves, so I would have to say to me the Dino has the edge. I got one of the bodies back from media blast and overall it’s not to bad. My big delivery comes next week of flares etc etc. In the meantime I’m restoring the parts I’ll reuse. I started with the pedal box and rebushed everything and added pedal covers. I got 930 trailing arms which I had vapor blasted. They look new!!

One more day of grinding and it should be ready for media blast. Went through 3 Harbor Freight Grinders and 6 Knotted wire brush wheels. A real PITA job!!

Enough Dinos for awhile! I needed a change of pace so I got a couple of 73 911t’s to make my version of RSR tributes. In the process of stripping the car.
