550 spider kit car. I'm guessing the light is for the generator. Flickers a bit on and off the gas

I like the Fiat. I had two early 124 Spiders so I'm a little biased. It was how I worked my way up the food chain to the Duetto.

This might be old, but I just ran across it. This is the same guy who built that sweet 1300 Giulia Sedan a while back....

The Future Is In The Past: Alfa Life - Speedhunters

http://www.speedhunters.com/2016/03/future-past-alfa-life/

With the abundance of technology that surrounds every part of our lives these days, it’s not hard to imagine a much different future for cars. One where automobiles as we know them will eventually fade out as being objects of desire or even necessity; replaced instead by driver-less vehicles, ride sharing and other more ‘convenient’ means …

I really like the idea that the engine's dirty and he drives it.

For the first time since prior to 1975, the Sprint has a complete and straight nose with all grills, and lights.

I put the dash top in place as well. Its a darn sharp looking dash.

That is damn shiny.

I took my car to the upholstery shop yesterday, $800 to have the headliner installed, another $400 to have the front and rear windows installed. Ouch.

400 to do the windows? You supplied all the parts? Seems really steep for rubber set glass.

$150-200 each. He wasn't sure how long it was going to take. Apparently it took 7.5 hrs to install the headliner. They are gasket style and can be a real bitch to install.

Yea if they never touch Alfa glass I can understand that. It's pretty basic overall. Just pray your windshield doesn't break if it's old

Yeah I'm a little worried that the glass will have issue since its 58 years old. Its been out of the sun for 40 years so that is a good thing. There are no signs of delamination or separation. I'm hoping it will be good to go.

The Sprint got its headliner installed. Now to get the front and rear windows done.
