    Spider Update

    Been really busy with work but it looks like I'll be in the clear very soon to get to the next stage - the exhaust. Just lining up times now with the shop and my main flat-bed. I tell ya, anytime I gotta move this car, is a logistical nightmare!!

    I was at the shop a few days ago and showed them the gear. We discussed everything from fitting to drone and came up with a plan. He asked what the gear was going on and I showed him this pic on my cell. A huge grin lit up his face and he said, "Oh sh*t!! Now that's how you build an Alfa"!!

    Thanks Justin! At this point in the build, I wish I was closer to FMU for them to do the exhaust. Everyone already knows all too well that their work is top notch. Getting the car there is not the issue. The issue is me taking the time away from my appointments to oversee the entire process.

    Thanks Skaar! This thing looked like a bag of rocks when I picked it up. Nothing more than a rolling shell with no drive train or interior to speck of. The fact that the body was completely rust free and straight was my only interest.

    Thanks TheArkitekt! These cars are HELL to work on and I've had to all of the ground work myself because so few people wanted to touch it. My vision was/is too detailed.

    Update

    Better late than never, the Mil.Spec cats arrive to complete the exhaust. These are TRUE 100 cell cats and the quality is top shelf.

    I have a shop in mind now to put it all together. But getting the spider in and outta there can be a logistical nightmare with my schedule. As always, I HAVE to be there when all work is being done. That is a given.

    So from here on out, it will be all timing between my flat bed guy on a round trip, the shop and my work. As soon as I can align the stars, this stage will commence.

    My new neighbors are really gonna **** me!! I moved not too long ago and there's this street that I drive down to get to my place that's very "family oriented".......ugh. Y'know...the kind of street where neighbor's kids play together while the parents chat by their driveway's sidewalk. Yeah, it'll get ugly at night. I expect 5.0 to make house calls on my a**!!

    Thanks guys! Each piece takes so long to either design or arrive. But to me the right components have to reflect the entire build.

    then y no video
    Ha!

    Well, no vid cause the exhaust has not been fabricated yet. Just collecting components for the shop that will do the tubing. No, "I will take that dusty-ass, fart can 2000 muffler hanging on the wall" conversation here!!
