NEW
I’ve been working on this car a little over a year now!! It’s taken a bit longer than usual as I had to work through the pandemic and all the shortages and the tremendous price increases on everything!. At least this week has been testing week, both driving and non driving. Every moving part is tested over and over along with every electrical part. Then comes driving with each drive a little longer. I put 120 miles on the car so far and will no doubt put another 50 or so miles making sure everything works as it should. After seeing my pictures from today I need a little more adjustment on the right front. The single post bumpers with only 2 attachments are very difficult to adjust right. The car drives great and has the looks to go with it. Mike with be out in a few weeks to do some testing himself. This in the only Dino in the world from the factory with these unique front indicator lights. These are not easy projects as each one has its own idiosyncrasies and after 20 plus Dinos I’ve done each one is different and difficult. I’ve also done a few early 911 Porsches and everything just fits! The Italians miss on the engineering but the looks are something else. Here are a few driving pics from today.
More Assembly
More progress on getting this Dino back on the road after sitting in the owners barn for nearly 20 years. All the suspension is now on, fuel system, new fiberglass fitted, most of the wiring is hooked up and today we started on the interior. Headliner went in today which then made it possible to put in the front and rear glass. I always hold my breath putting in the rear windscreen in. Luckily all was a success!
Time to put it back together
I got the prototype Dino back from the paint shop last week after about 4 months. TJ at Color House of Texas did a great job on this one and now I get to do the best part of a restoration! I love reassembly with all the restored and clean parts, so far everything is going smoothly. I did have a stud snap on the brake booster so it’s back a step on that one. It’s so cool seeing
