Hi all,
in the giulia sprint 1600:

Do you know how the hood crome goes??
It has a narrow and a wide end; does de narrow end goes toward the windshield or the radiator?

i thing the wider end goes to the radiator(to the front).

and, at what distance from the edge?

thanks

thanks taso, and i agree with carpoor your sprint is gorgeous!

by the way, what is the color of your sprint?
i havent dicide yet but looking the fiat/alfa ppg colors, I like best the FIAT ROSSO MONZA.

Thank you all for the compliments. I have been in the process of restoring that Sprint for the last 14 months. Several 164's, and customer cars like Ed's SS have slowed me down a bit with her.
She is the most original and complete Giulietta, I have ever seen. She had been stored in a garage for over 30 years, so it was time warp.
The chrome had worn off everything as the brass undernearth was pitting, the paint was also not salvageable. So...
The chrome took 4 months and a lot of money but it is imaculate.
The old paint was stripped and the old lead was replaced.
A multi stage PPG paint was applied in the Original AR501 that our Friend Elvira at Fiat advised was the correct color for the VIN.
The original interior was copied faithfully as well.
A work of love; I'm glad to see that it makes other Alfa people as excited as it makes us.
The entire work done in both our Sprint and Ed's Sprint Speciale will be posted within the next couple of weeks on my web site, especially since a lot more work was done to the SS. Stay tuned.

Have a great day all.
