Fiat Dino restoration part 9. 

@@stephenlmckeown1439 You are correct and it is something that is often not understood. I did not understand this myself until I started to make things but know I know that to make things you need to make things ! Just like how a machinist makes a fixture to hold the part during production. I would love to make press tooling but that’s a very different level of investment.

@@bertone83 I’m thinking that it is a good thing as I’m sure that there are plenty of rusty Dinos !

@@FiatDino1967 All steel body cars will rust ! It really is a question of what sort of life they have lived. I have seen Dinos that have survived relatively well with little or no corrosion. But plenty have not been so lucky . They are very complex in construction so difficult to repair to the high standards expected in restoration today. With many classics good quality replacement panels are available, not so with the FIAT Dino and this is why they are so difficult to restore properly. Every steel body piece has to be hand formed. Keep watching and I will show the process. Glad you are enjoying the channel.

@@maseraticc2834 Thank you. It’s a good deal of work but worth the effort !

@@user-pw3ji3rn3s well done that must be a great feeling !

Hi again Mark, another informative video. Willl you make floor pans to order? How do I order the paper patterns for the inner and outer sills (so far the only rust I’ve found is the drivers side sill and a shilling size hole, same side between floor plan and rear bulkhead🤪

@@svbreila I might be able to offer various replacement panels in the future at present it’s not something that I am able to do. Regarding patterns for the sills these wouldn’t be necessary unless yours have been replaced or repaired incorrectly.

Thanks Mark, I’ve no reason to believe the sills have been replaced. They have all the tell tale signs of original!​@@marksitaliangarage
