Very nice, Craig...except, doesn't that red one have the wrong hood on it? Can you live with that flaw? :twisted:

Wow guys,thanks again for all the nice feedback.The red car is not as nice as pix,surely a 10 footer!But,its fun to drive and I wouldnt hesitate to drive it to a jobsite,grocery store,etc..I dont do that with the 82.Zachmac,the wheels are from Team Dynamics Racing and are 15x7.They are not a common street wheel,but you see a lot of them at the track,especially the SpecMiata class.They make several models and these were on the car when I bought it.
Our house is sided with 'D-log' siding.Basically a log ,split so the back is flat.It is put on over standard sheeting.Very common in this area,and it doesnt have the inherent problems(drafts,gaps) as a log home.We have 4 acres here ,all forest except the house pad,driveway,and yard.It is a great area here in the N.E. corner of Ga....if you're ok with driving 10 miles to town,dry county,and rural lifestyle.We absolutely love it here.By the way ,we finished the house ,but it was dried in and had the interior walls.
Alvon,the garage is a sore spot!It is a 2 car(if they are Fiats!) but when you add in the workbench,shelves,compressor,etc...it is tight.They can both sleep in there,but if I need to work on something it is ''Fiat Shuffle'' time.The wife says 'I told you to build it bigger' :twisted:
Fonz,the chrome grille is out of a can of chrome spray paint!! :oops: :oops: Looks good,though.
And my buddy Denise.Look out your kitchen window.Remember that small bump hood that used to be leaning against your garage? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: It is now in my garage ,waiting for a little TLC!!!

Hi Craig,
Sounds like my 81. Needs some tlc but runs and track great. Don't know if I will hang onto it or not. The 1980 is all set to go for paint. Just haven't decided on who is going to paint it. Your Spiders look great. George
