Re: S/ST-S/G Alfa Romeo Spider Roadster
Put last coats of primer on today, maybe out at Atco’s national open in a few weeks!
Thanks to Tommy Depasqle who has helped with some of the bondo work, he got back from Florida just a few days ago and came over today to block some primer. Anybody that has done this kind of work knows that these last steps before painting are pretty nasty. I better get some of these pictures up before it makes a debut This is still some of the body preparation, taking the whole car to bare metal, loads of paint and crappy work under that silver. Gotta cut out everything that will be in the way

Re: S/ST-S/G Alfa Romeo Spider Roadster
I have a 69 Datsun roadster that's been in the barn for 35 years that I've thought about doing the same thing with.

Re: S/ST-S/G Alfa Romeo Spider Roadster
Keith, I’m so impressed with your skills and work ethic on the roadster. Looking forward to seeing your ingenious approach to taking both cars to the track without buying a stacker.

Believe it or not, I am painting today, put the base coat on yesterday, taped off the stripes this morning and just put the first coat of clear on. As of right now this thing is looking sharp.

Maybe like I brought the 968 nose home. Although loading it would be a problem

Re: S/ST-S/G Alfa Romeo Spider Roadster
Getting things done, how many times did I put the engine in and out? I know I moved it over at least an inch and a half

Re: S/ST-S/G Alfa Romeo Spider Roadster
When we got to the cage we really wanted it to match the layback angle of the windshield we made it as close as possible. Getting close to certification time!
