Today was start time to begin reassembly. The usual stuff, putting as many parts as i can do on the rotisserie and only parts that will not interfere with the wire and hydraulics.

Looking at the photos you you start to drool at how perfect everything looks, until to you notice the frame welds and splatter... then your mouth dries up, you start getting pissed off, and wishing you could travel back in time so you could beat the #$%^ out of some line workers and force them to start taking some pride in their work, or find another job.
It's a funny thing but Italians generally speaking have always been associated with poor welding, but great castings. Even their F1 cars had welding that I would be embarrassed about, but they don't fall apart ... Pete
More assembly today and with the floor pan now on the Dino was moved off the rotisserie and on to the lift. It's so nice putting something together that is totally clean!! The color is beautiful with the ultra fine metallic flakes.

I was curious about that aluminum clutch cable spacer zip tied to the pedal box. I had one on my car but didn't see it in the parts book. I figured someone put it in there to take up slack in adjustment. Have you seen this part on all the Dinos you've worked on? Car looks great in silver!
I have seen it in a number of them, but not all. I ordered a new clutch cable for the car, so I may not need it.
Almost finished with getting all the fiberglass back in, everything sealed up and all new brake lines. A few more small projects and then the wiring is next.

The wiring is completed on most of the front, radiator temp, radiators fans, horn, main battery, all the lights on drivers front. windshield wiper motor, washer pump, brake switch and brake pressure switch. Clutch cable pulled through, radiator hoses and brake booster hose. I'll finish up the front with bumpers and grill and next do all the wiring in the cab then move to the rear.
