Thanks,


This is while I was test fitting.... The lights are better centered up and down. I couldn't resize the picture since I'm at work and using my phone. I'm sure you know to right click and select view image to see the whole thing.

Guess I don't know how to make it work with my phone.... Here's the link

Great job juvius.
You have a very special/original Spider...I like it.
Your dedication is impressive and admirable.

Had to notice bottom left of the pic...
Is that a mouse deterrent or have you trained him/her to find that perfect bolt/washer? :wink:

Yah Dan... That's my multi use tool. It sorts nuts and bolts, fetches tools, I also use it as a buffer and hand cleaner

Pat (spouse) says "Wow, he's really good!". Last pic she saw was the roughed in CHIMSL, and she thought that an excellent idea ("Can you do that?" "No, sorry....".). 2 big Well Dones! from here, Steve. Looking really nice.

Life is good - although the winter months seem to slow down resto-progress (lack of incentive when not driving weather!).

The 2000 is just about to get it's new paint (ok - I've been saying that for several months now... but it REALLY is this time). The fabric finally turned up from Italy, so I've got a some indoor focus time trimming the interior to do. The 1800 finally gained a new center console from a coupe (thanks Csaba!), and so that's pretty driveable right now .... apart from the fact that I'm thinking on sorting out the paint on that now - once the 2000 is surfaced..... and then like a hoarder, I picked up a '71 project last week. :) Thinking about it - I haven't slown down at all, just spread the love around!

In other news - all is well :)

Hope things are good with you sir.
