First off, a little mood music:
Yes, it's a basket case, and I probably am too for buying it but what the heck. I picked up Bill's "'67 Super Roller" project posted on the BB, and will be dragging it home in the next couple of weeks. This is my first tin top Alfa after 3 Spiders, and I hope (eventually) to do the same kind of refreshing I did to my '74 Spider - ie, get it to nice driver status, not turn it into a concours trailer queen. It will stay Verde Muschio, with the dark tan interior. By the time I'm done horse trading with Bill I'm thinking I'll have enough stuff to install my good spare 2L with Euro cams in it while keeping it more or less original looking under the hood.
A couple of questions before I dive in:
1. What's the best source for some of the bespoke Super stuff like upholstery? I assume Re-originals can get some of it, but are there any good Euro sources?
2. I really want to do a nice aggressive street / occasional track suspension setup, with a decent but not crazy drop. I LOVE the look of a lowered Super. Any suggested wheel / tire / spring / shock / brake recipes? I've got a good spare 4.56 LSD that I plan on putting in.
Thanks, and I'm sure I'll be spending plenty of time in here with y'all 4-door Alfa nuts.
