Re: Finally something to show
for good pictures, you have to have sunlight on them. Take a rocker out in the yard and snap a picture tomorrow.
(btw, if you sell ANYTHING on ebay, take the pictures of it in natural sunlight and bids will be higher. crazy how it works, but it does. :p )
I'm sitting here trying to figure out what that curved part is that is sitting by the rocker covers on the stand, lol.
Also, looking great! Wish mine was there!

Re: Finally something to show
thanks... i'm worried about messing shit up when i put the doors on. for some reason my doors are a pain in the ass to line up. may be because they are 70 doors on an 81 body... i'm going to use a lot of painters tape during reconstruction...81SPIDERMATT wrote:my guess is the spoiler ...

Re: Finally something to show
even out in sunlight my camera doesn't capture the color quite right, but it's closer:
Re: Finally something to show

Re: Finally something to show
Nice, Steve, very nice. Eye catching and not the usual Fiat color. Can't wait to see it all together (I suspect you're a bit more than eager as well).

Re: Finally something to show
i am... i was getting nervous because the paint guy has to redo the hood and fix a couple other small things and i didn't hear from him til today. I knew he couldn't come last week because he was getting his motorcycle ready for a race, but i texted him over the weekend to see if he was coming back today and i didn't get a reply. He called today, said he missed the text that he would be here on thursday to get the mistakes prepped and back on friday or saturday to finish paint.

Re: Finally something to show
i've been helping my dad out a lot at his house and what little time i've had left, i've been trying to cram into the 74. It's running now, and idling good... i have to learn more about carb adjustment or something. cause when i give it gas, it wants to stall. if i give it gas real slow, it will idle right up. today I did manage to get my brake booster and splash shield/rock guard (whatever it's called) cleaned up and painted for whenever I can start putting my car back together. I'm getting anxious, so i hope the guy finishes it up by the end of the weekend.

Re: Finally something to show
The accelerator pump diaphragm on your carb may be split. it is supposed to shoot a little gas into your engine when you hit the gas.
