While the metal work progresses, work continues ob refurbishing parts.  The Ansa exhaust and headers were ceramic coated and also more chrome, polish and powder coating.

The first metal work was started as there was some damage to the tubes that run under the tub where the clutch cable, hydraulic line and starter cable run through.  It was repaired very poorly whomever did the repairs years ago.  These are the things you find when you strip a car and the only way a restoration can really be done properly. The car is now with Steve K. for metal. surfacing and paint.

The Dino left the blaster today with a fresh coat of self etching primer and delivered  to Steve K. to begin the resurfacing job. In the meantime the motor is being rebuilt at Cavallo Motorsports by a Ferrari Factory trained  engine guy.

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.

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.

The work continues on Rob’s 74 GTS. More and more parts are looking better than factory new.

Now that the parts are all plated and the new bearings, bushings and seals have come in, it’s time to rebuild everything to like new.

I picked up all the various parts I had replated in either clear cad, yellow cad or black zinc.  I love when it all laid out, it looks like Dino jewelry.  Robs car is still being media blasted and expected to go to the paint shop next week where Steve Kouracos will work his magic. During that time I will rebuilding and refurbishing all the parts I took off that Dino.
