You aren't afraid of work. I guess eating and sleeping are overrated? Gonna be a cool car.

Re: S/ST-S/G Alfa Romeo Spider Roadster
Yeah I have been at it hard for 2 years. Nice to see it done, can’t wait to drive it this weekend. I put wheelie bars on and did the front end alignment yesterday, gonna weigh it today, just a few more little details to finish off. Then the Porsche comes back in to repaint. Last year I was in such a hurry to replace and fix the damage from the wreck I squared the panels off and the paint didn’t match. It’s driving me crazy.

Re: S/ST-S/G Alfa Romeo Spider Roadster
I just got back from weighing the car looks like I built it plenty heavy! sort of surprising. Actually,
I will double check the weight again at Atco. Anyhow, I noticed the transmission seem to be slipping a lot in reverse, by the time I got home and went to unload the car I noticed the transmission is really having problems. so back up on the lift to change that out.

Re: S/ST-S/G Alfa Romeo Spider Roadster
So i decided to paint the underside of the hood before replacing. So now you can see the color I chose it’s a carbon metallic and boy it has some huge flakes. Had to finish up the deck lid, mirror, spoiler and other parts.

Re: S/ST-S/G Alfa Romeo Spider Roadster
Just finished putting the spare transmission in. All seems good to go, cleaned it all up, threw in all the new safety equipment and loaded it in the trailer, can’t wait to finally get to drive it more than just back and forth in the shop. Hopefully it goes straight and safely.
Gotta load some more pics to catch up to this point

Re: S/ST-S/G Alfa Romeo Spider Roadster
Finished priming the spoilers and deck lid, painting the mirrors and the base black for the rear marble base.
If you look at the last picture, i like to take black candy and clear all the lenses for a smoke look. They really look good against the metallic color. All lights will be operational
