Car is 99% completed. I am having a neighbor shape a hood scoop/cover. Other than that everything else is done. The grill was cut out of aluminum on a waterjet.[/youtube]Finally completed the car.......mostly......it is common knowledge that these cars are never really completed. That is part of the charm. The Donor car was a 1979 Alfa Romeo Spider. I used the engine (2L twin overhead cam with dual weber carbs.) Trans and differential. Final drive ratio is 4.55:1. Custom built driveshaft. The chassis is a book chassis. Seats are Kirkey 20 deg, 16" on drivers side and 15" passenger side. Sheet metal is pre-painted aluminum(black), hood and fenders etc are painted a Nissan Exterra yellow using PPG Omni single stage paint.
I thoroughly enjoyed the build, and am looking forward to fine tuning. Next major step is probably having some engine work done to increase the horsepower(port polish, and cams).
