Ferrari Dino on a rotisserie, Dino restoration, Jon Gunderson
With the rear suspension out I put the car on the rotisserie so I could remove the floor pan and power wash all the gunk out. I think as of now this is about as far as we are going on disassembly, unless I hear differently from the owner.

Dino 246 Fuel Tank. Dino gauges, Dino interior, dino restoration, ferrari dino
Much progress today as the interior was removed, the fuel tanks, all the side glass and other odds and ends. Tomorrow the front and rear windscreen and all the suspension. This is not a 100% strip but we are getting pretty close. Then there is always the question where to stop. You always find more to do such as the heater boxes today which I’ll need to do, broken fuel tank straps I’ll have to make, window cables in a rats nest and few other items that weren’t on the list. I should finish up by the end of the week, then off to paint and body. A few interesting things today as I’ve never seen USA painted on the fuel tanks and also the body parts which are #600 seem very early for the serial # of the car.
