Would someone extremely kind in Dinoland, send / post photos of the opening below the nose, behind the radiator? We are in the process of remaking, as this is downright scary Thank you. Regards, Alberto Image Unavailable, Please Login
scary stuff indeed - i have to marvel at your tenacity. I dont have anything in that detail but am sure you have searched the many restoration threads for photos that may guide you? tony
Indeed Tony scary stuff, as in the day all it was about was bodging the job, whether a FIAT 128 or Dino. Unfortunately there are way too many resto threads, not enough time to weed through all, and now with this virus mess, I have too much to oversee at the farm, keeping all the jobs open providing a means of sustenance. We are a very fragile country. Regards, Alberto
which series dino is it? i agree, i did look as well and there are lots on here. Regards Tony EDIT - just read the other post early e.
Were you looking for the "before" photo? Dennison Intl cuts out the old and makes a new one for 05702 In the second photo, they use their "picture frame" tool to align panels during fabrication If you have never had to have major metalwork done on your Dino, I'll just say it is not for the faint of heart Image Unavailable, Please Login
Scott, your car is a late E series with the revised round air intakes for the cabin ventilation fans. Alberto's car is an early E which had a different style front clip which was carried over from the M series.
Alberto, if this area of coachwork is anything like lower front valance section on Daytonas (crafted by same "artisans" ?), the panel or air intake openings on it may have originally been less than symmetrical, so if authenticity/originality is a concern, you may wish to limit your research on unrestored cars only.
Scott, thank you for posting. I think we are coming along nicely, not faint of heart, what we really need is the trapezoidal shape at the far rear, under the rad. Regards, Alberto
