Default S/ST-S/G Alfa Romeo Spider Roadster

Hey guys, I’m only about a month away from finishing my new car and figured I would share the build. This car is intended for super street and super gas so it will be a little on the heavy side. I decided to use all mild steel and sheet metal interior to try to get my weight up to 2800 pounds. I will start from the beginning with some pics and go from there till completion.

So here we go with the start I found the body over the bridge near Baltimore
I bought a 27 roadster kit from Chris Alston chassis works knowing I’m going to have to change a lot of the sizes and bars to accompany this body. I decided to stretch the wheelbase as 88” is just way too short for my liking the Porsche is now at 97 and gets out of control so as you will see as the build goes on, I have stretched it quite a bit.

I should mention that the Porsche is a ladder bar car, and this one will be a 4link car with a wheel base extension, It should work a lot better. I also need to add that I want this car to be very versatile. Want to be able to bracket race it also, i like the idea of the added visibility and I plan on keeping the windshield. The car is all steel so as not to be a cookie cutter of everyone else’s Corvette roadsters.
These next few pics, I’m sizing up everything and gathering up some parts

I love it. I saw a Spider at the Winter Nationals in the late 70s running Modified Production with a VW engine and it was a sight to see. I talked to the owner and he could not figure out why his 60 foot times were bad and i said it looked like he was pulling the wheels past the 60 foot beam.

You certainly have a flair for the unique. That will be a best engineered award winner for sure.

Thank you sir but I’m not sure on that. I thought the Porsche would have gotten an award but home built cars seem to take a back seat to the high dollar builds or at least a best appearing for the 4 different paint jobs over the last 26 years. seems like I get overlooked but I’m not in the clique

Getting those boxes opened, some assembly required!
My friend Gearld Pierce gave me the jig and a joint jigger
My crew chief and good friend shaggy (Scott Sapp) is in now on this part of the build, he used to build sprint cars and the like, so we knew we were going to stretch and modify This chassis
It really came in handy having him around, pointing me in the right direction and helping bend a few or stretch a few bars to fit this unique body.
