59 Giulietta Spider project Before & After
I want to share some photos for my most recent project on before and after photos for a 59 Giulietta spider. I took on the project about a year and half ago  and just finally completed all the trim and interior with all period correct detail work. I received the car with some parts installed, but everything had to come off the car in order to be reinstalled correctly. The car looks great, this is a project that was started over 30 years ago. Yes, you all heard correct, the car restoration was started over 30 years ago when the current owner purchased the car as a basket case in 1967.

Beautiful job Lionel, it's a real credit to you.
Quick query - does this engine's cam cover earth itself via the little stud for the air cleaner mount (my Sprint GT cover has two alloy washers under the two rear bolts)? And what finish did you go for when replating the fresh air duct clamps?
