I started disassembly today and so far found no surprises, only a Dino that has had no maintenance for years. All will be rectified and it will be like new. This car was painted in the late seventies or early eighties to Ferrari resale red. During this time period everyone wanted a red Ferrari. Times have changed and most want to go back to their original colors.
Work Begins on 03356
I pick up Eric’s Dino in Berkley, Ca yesterday morning and trailered it back to my hobby shop in San Diego. This is a 72 GT that was originally Silver with Black Vinyl interior. As you can see by the pictures there’s a good deal of work to do. It was painted red in 1978 over the original silver exterior. The Dino is most likely going back to Silver with either red or black leather interior. No decision has yet been made on rather to keep the USA lights or exactly how far to go on the restoration. Tomorrow stripping of parts starts and the fun begins!
Urethane Epoxy Primer
Urethane Epoxy primer is now on. Next up high build primer. More bits and pieces being rebuilt and restored to new.
YELLOW!
The car will be yellow and the first spray out was done. We will be comparing it to an original color book I have. In the meantime there still is plenty of parts to make like new!
Bare Aluminum
Fiberglass Parts
With 2 coats of primer on the car and getting close to paint, I put the fiberglass back in the car. I also got the trunk fiberglass ready to install and the heat shield and ceramic insulation in.
