The Super Nuova...

[uturn]

Everytime I see an update on the Giulia, I think "Super Nova"!

Mmm, tacky.

Seriously, it looks good, and I bet it was big boost to how you feel about the project.

Wheres that store? Someday I should try and take a picture next to it!

It really was a good feeling. The rockers are going to be an even bigger adventure, and one I will have to tackle 100% on my own, so we'll see how it goes then. I'll probably drive the car for a little bit after Kevan gives it back

Make a quick little video with a lot of stuff you've seen but some stuff you havent.

Saw Kevan at the MidCity gtg last night and was happy to see the car and that he had thrown some paint on the panel

Well... two more weeks without the car, but since my buddy is daily driving it he wanted to address something that was bothering him; the throttle pedal. He spent a few minutes designing a plate that relocates the pedal to make heel-toe easier and a more comfortable position.




Heres what he started with






Heres the initial design. It needed one revision but this was about it






Piece mocked up











Final position

Cool idea and clean execution. Hope it does the trick

Some engine related updates...

One small package arrived and didnt take up any noticeable difference in the garage...







Another one definitely will be noticeable.

[Northern]

oooooo

Before you install it I'd love to see you grill on the oil pan, provided it has that classic finned one.

Nice!

One week later














Hoping to get this up on the engine stand here this weekend and start the teardown and rebuild of the bottom end!




Its about to get real serious

So I got lucky and used my charm to convince an old guy on the AlfaBB to let me use his Alfa engine support bar but I needed to get it drilled out. Charlie Sh3rpak!ng just restored an old American drill press so this was the perfect opportunity to test it out.





Drilled 4 of the 6 holes I wanted with no issue. I had to drill the other two myself and it took quite a bit longer but still was relatively easy.



Once that was done I wasn’t sure if I wanted to leave it bare metal and after asking Logan if I could give it a coat of paint he said go for it. Hope he doesn’t regret giving me that option haha


With that done I used my guns to get the block setup in its new home.


Should have a proper update before the end of the week and then next weekend I’m getting nuts!
