There are always people who think if you don't turn your own wrench or if you put anything more into a car than you can sell it for tomorrow your stupid but there are just as many who understand. We can't all be mechanic's, bodymen, engineer's and designers we have to know what our limitations are and that to do it right you do have to farm out a good part of the work if not all of it. Unless you are an experience mechanic.
Look at any project from hot rods to race cars to custon street cars their all very expensive to build ($100,000 + on some) and if your going to do it you might as well do it the way YOU want it. Sure you can buy one already done but your just buying someone else's dream.
More power to you and anyone else that wants to do it and a big "that a boy" when you show the building progress on a BB. I know it's a fine line between showing off and just wanting to show others what you are doing but this is the place to show your stuff off that's why we come here. Heck all of my home town friends and family just think I'm crazy for what I did so this is the only place I can come too and talk about it.
You have a great project going and those that don't like it should just move on to another thread. I'm sorry that anyone has given you grief don't let that stop you from showing the rest of us what can be done.
Enrique has done quite a lot to his cars too and understands that this custom stuff is expensive he took 2nd place in last years National Alfa Romeo Concourse event, I think that say's it all.
On the Watts Link, I check out Andy's watt's link too and he told me that it was designed based on a GTV and there might be some modification that has to be done to it to fit a Spider small as they might be it needs to be considered. I liked the Alfaholic's one too but if I did anything I would go to a Panhard Rod because Jack Beck's shop is about 15 min away from my house and if it is good enough for most of the racers it would be good enough for me. But for your Beast I would of gone to with a Watts Link also.
