I picked up this 73 GTS Euro model in Menlo Park for a full make over including a color change to Blu Sera Metallizzato. I took the slow route home catching the beauty of the California coastline.
Heat and Noise
I put 1 inch closed cell foam between the fiberglass and the bottom floor pan as well as on the back firewall between the fiberglass and the aluminum heat shield. It helps with heat and noise.
First Day of Reassembly
The first day of reassembly! This time I’m putting more parts on before the fiberglass tub and inner fenders, as I think there will be easier access without having to lean on the car body. I also had Brad leave the doors off to hang at a later time. This is the most satisfying part of the job as it all comes together totally clean, one part at a time.
Reassembly of Parts
Now that Mel’s car is at the paints shop I reassembled and rebuilt most of the parts to be ready when it comes back from paint
Engine In!
The engine is in and next week, road testing begins.
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!
