Ferrari Dino 246 Heat Shield, Dino Restoration, Jon Gunderson
The original heat shield was full of rot so I made a new one.  The original factory ones had a water absorbing material sandwiched between 2 sheets of metal.  Most that I’ve seen are rusted out at the bottom and pretty beat up.

Reassembly of Ferrari Dino 08450, Dino Restoration, Jon Gunderson
Reassembly is a tedious and time consuming process,  Extra care has to be taken at all times as you are working on a freshly painted body and certainly don’t want to make any damage while installing hundreds of parts back on the car.

Reassembly of Ferrari Dino #8450, Dino Restoration, Jon Gunderson
I started hanging parts on Rob’s car, starting with things I can put on that will not interfere with other parts or the wiring which will need to be done soon. It is nice putting clean parts on a clean car! I got it off the rotisserie after getting the floorpan back on. It’s much easier at this point to work off a lift versus rotisserie.

Ferrari Dino 246 Rear Hubs and Front Wheel Bearings, Dino Restoration, Jon Gunderson
Rear hubs and front wheel bearings today. I put all the panels back on the body today getting it ready to go for body and paint. No decision has been made yet on who will do that part of the job, so the body may be at my shop for awhile. Quite a contrast with this one showing all it’s warts and Rob’s blue car that was delivered today.

Ferrari Dino 246 GTS ready for reassembly, Dino Restoration, Jon Gunderson
I got Rob’s Dino back today ready for the start of reassembly tomorrow. I mounted it back on a rotisserie which I’ll only use for a few days, then everything will be done on the lift. The color is beautiful and one of my favorite Dino colors. Now if I can just remember where everything goes and where to start!! A very cool contrast with Eric’s Dino in the background, a before and after. The camera is for a time lapse, putting the car back together.  Every minute a photo will be taken which I will turn into a time lapse video.
