Re: S/ST-S/G Alfa Romeo Spider Roadster
While I was waiting for some things to dry I mounted the onboard air compressor, and re-painted the quadrafollio (cloverleaf) emblem. This was a special edition Alfa so I thought it should go back on

Re: S/ST-S/G Alfa Romeo Spider Roadster
Ok these were the last steps before painting, a final 400 and scuff pad all over sand. About a 2 hour cleanup of the shop. Then another wash down and tape off then the black sealer.

Re: S/ST-S/G Alfa Romeo Spider Roadster
You gotta stop by. Got here just before the heavy rain hit so I got to drive around a couple miles around the pits. Everything seems good. I was able to set the rpm on the stop and was also able to check the alignment. Everything seems great so far can’t wait till tomorrow. Final paint pics coming up tomorrow

Re: S/ST-S/G Alfa Romeo Spider Roadster
Well most should see it this weekend so here comes the final stages of the build
Laying on the color, this is a single stage paint so after spraying I wait overnight to tape up the stripes and finish with clear coat before the 18 hour recoat time.

Re: S/ST-S/G Alfa Romeo Spider Roadster
Just dropped Dad off at the track as I had to work today and he’s going to work on the car to figure out what is wrong with it. Hopefully get a chance to see the car tonight or tomorrow as it was still in the trailer. Looks good so far, kind of reminds me a little of Siepels car out in D7 (I know differ t type of car).
