Hey, I just won the Kimberly Cup at Road America in my 69 Alfa Spider. Here it is in the winner circle. And the prize; an engraved bottle of wine.

sweet!!!! congratulations! what is the wine? 10.00 swill or a 50.00 gem?

that prototype fiberglass duetto body from the new jersey auction of a year ago would save you perhaps 200 more lbs.

[Nader393]

Thanks! It is a $2000 bottle of sweet memories. I’ll just leave it at that.

Nice. Good work.

In other news I took another step forward with the Sprint project yesterday. I finally picked up the custom built 4.10 54% lock LSD rear end for it. Now to get the bushings installed in the trailing arms, and A frame and get it reinstalled. I should also have my Alfaholics exhaust system tomorrow.

Don't remind me about that thing ...

Here's some pics from last weekend when me and my neighbor went for a drive into the LA canyons. He bought it like that through the Petrolicious marketplace. Changed the 14s to 15s and swapped the steering wheel to a Prototipo. I'm trying to swoop on his 14" R888 tires for my roadster





Yes, I'm posting my Datsun in the Alfa thread, deal with it




And this was taken almost right after he got it when we went to K1 for his birthday when he was still on 14s

The world's oldest running Alfa Romeo race car up for auction...
1921 G1 6C

http://www.roadandtrack.com/car-culture/classic-cars/a13058500/1921-alfa-romeo-g1-auction/

Check out that early aero belly pan (or mud guard)
and those rear springs (?! and/or trailing arms?)





Everybody loves the bright red #501 "Alfa Rosso" like in Simon's post 1733 above (so do I!), but this dark maroon-red was the original Alfa red on the race cars.

I should start busting all the Alfa Owners balls saying my Datsun got repainted in the Original Alfa Rosso

Except that your paint is metallic, and the original Alfa Red is at best a semi gloss non metallic red.

In other Alfa news, My car is back on 4 wheels, but the new rear end looks offset to the drivers side. There is far more clearance on the passenger side than there is on the drivers side. I'm not sure why because the old rear end centered perfectly

Check the shims between the trunnion bar ends and the body mounts. Check for correct use of washers and spacers on the differential/trunnion mounting pin.

There aren't any. No space for them either. None came out, none when back in. I'm wondering if the mount might have been welded in the wrong spot.
