My list for the year is body work, paint, complete interior, rewire, disk brake upgrade, a/c install, driveline rebuild, pulling my hair out and banging my head against the wall.

Good call, I will add not catching the engine on fire to my list too. Out of interest, where do you mount your fire extinguisher ?Jon

Finally sold it back in the 90s up in Idaho. So if anyone stumbles across a 73 Spyder in Idaho with a full Abarth rally suspension, custom 17" wheels, a built 2.0 motor with dual webbers and a custom chrome roll bar, she was my first build.Comment

So it's another winter, what's the plan for this year?
Now that my engine compartment is spiffy clean, there's no more exhaust or oil leaks I'm going to tackle the interior. Not really that much to do, I put in Dynamat and new carpets but the front seats are in need of some attention. I've sent away for the leather dye kit and will be rebuilding the foam in the seats, specifically the bottom inch unless I find the entire seat foam is shot in which case I've got a guy!! He's already re-stitching the seams.Scott

Behind the back seat, on the doors under the door panels, firewall, trunk floor, underside of trunk. Pretty much any place you have rattles it helps, but under the carpet is the best, gets rid of road noise and helps with the heat from exhaust pipesScott

59 Convertible
Just got this back from the top shop. Working on the interior (a 60 in a 59 car). Next spring I go under the car for a trans rebuild, disc brake conversion, and full front suspension. Hope to make the summer cruise nights....

Nice, I've done 2.25", when I was under it I noticed that the PO had obviously dragged the rear bumper and it's got a tear in the bottom right corner, and it's not perfect regardless, so I'm thinking I might make cutouts and run 3"s tip out the backsScott
