This is a 74 Dino Spyder painted in Blue Dino Metallizzato. I spent 2 years along with my son Jeff doing a 2 year total nuts and bolts restoration. I plan on keeping it forever!

Oro Kelso
Suspension
With the body now out of the shop and being media blasted it’s time to turn my attention to refurbishing the parts. I decided to start with the suspension, where all bushings, seals, bearings, shocks will be replaced and the parts will be replated. I got the A arms and sway bars back from the powder coater today.
Media Blasting
All the fiberglass is now removed and ready to be media blasted.
Fiberglass
If you want a really good job with are the metal exposed and blasted you have to take out the fiberglass. Kind of a big job for sure but worth the added time it takes for the results
.
Dino Floor Pan
I took the floorpan off which took all day seeing that it was coated with some very heavy undercoat and I couldn’t see the hundreds of rivets that hold it on that all needed drilled out. A few more parts to come off then ready to be media blasted.
Rotisserie Dino
More parts removed allowing the Dino to be mounted to a rotisserie. There is a huge advantage in doing this. as areas can be addressed that otherwise would be neglected. I removed all the wiring which is a mind boggling job! Even harder when it comes time to put in back in.
Upside down Dino
A rotisserie is the only way to go in a restoration. You can spin the car 360 degrees and reach places that could easily be neglected. It’s great for the paint and body to always have your work at eye level.
