Ferrari Dino 246 Primer. Dino Restoration, Jon Gunderson
The car is one week from it’s first primer. The owner has decided on the color so now I can proceed with the interior which will be black. Exterior to be yellow, it’s a question of which one as the Dino compendium shows 2 yellows with about 200 cars being done in each yellow. I need to find out if both were offered in 1974.

Ferrari Dino 246 Carpeting. Dino restoration, Jon Gunderson
The carpet arrived today from Henk! Rob is down to two exterior color choices, but with either one this is the correct choice for the carpet. This comes from HVL in the Netherlands and matches the original.

Removing fiberglass from 206 Dino, Dino restoration, Jon Gunderson
Pretty much down to the last of the fiberglass. The 206 is much more difficult than the 246 to get all the various fiberglass pieces out.

A big step as it’s now in primer!.  It’s a lot or work to get it to this point, and now we are awaiting Rob’s color choice. Steve K and Beau did a great job.

Dino 246 Primer, Dino AC condendser, Dino Restoration, Jon Gunderson
Today I went to LA to my favorite plater and I made a stop at AC Global MFG. in Southgate, Ca. As Rob’s car needed a new AC condenser I thought I would go to source and see how they are made. I love old working factories with the sounds and the old machines. Davis Cabrera the owner who took over for his Dad gave me a tour. Then stopped at Steve’s to see the progress on the body. It was looking really good with even gaps all around and ready for primer tomorrow!!. Come on Rob, we need that color choice.

Dino 00136 Suspension. Dino Restoration, Jon Gunderson
Not much left to take off, as all the suspension, brakes etc were removed today along with the steering rack.. Many differenced between a 206 and 246. The fiberglass looks much more difficult to remove, I guess I’ll find out soon! Removing the suspension is kind of a milestone as it will need to go on a rotisserie or cart.

Work is moving on all fronts. The parts are getting refurbished, the dash is now complete in (Henks) material which is the one I like the best and the body work is moving along. Rumors are that it might go yellow.
