Thank you Dale
It’s been bit too long 11 years, but after 6 I took it as hobby, also very difficult when you are dealing with 100times splashed body
Nothing did not matched
Upholstery is next . All parts are ready to wrap

Thanks , you may not know Joe sold the unit, everything in it
So no more coffee hang outs
But we should maybe in the next spring get together,
Jim Dinner it’s gonna help me with front wheels adjustment
Anyway will keep in touch
I had to put temp tail lights so the CAA would tow it back home under my Fords tags lol cause they are taking picture of the rear car before load up

We can do it at my place if your up to the drive to Cambridge.  Where I shot Joe's yellow Diablo you did.

Stunning Colour choice Eddie I love it!  Looks fantastic!  Great hearing from you again.  We'll need to have a big get together when you get it done!

my boss comes over to open his shop just for me, 4 hours work. bumper rocker fins and top later. there's  no space in the booth for all parts

[eddie]

well started to hang the door on and lids. I'm waiting for extra Tangelo ( 2 quarts), I bought a gallon (US) but I used one quart just for jams so just to be sure I don't run short while painting the exterior. if I don't need it I can return it, not paying for it unless I open the can. now we are getting busy at the shop, the long weekend we are closed, Thursday they are going  Service the Downdraft, so hopefully, I'll get it done after that,

oh boy well, I know nothing about this,  on my S/C everything has a separate circuit only fuel injection, I think  EGR is gone, Transmission, limiter, etc, about a dozen things were deleted on my ECM.one thing, the ECm would prime fuel pump as turn key on and start. after it was flashed it would take good 20 seconds or more to prime and start, so I have an Alfa steering column, and one of the levers on the right, when is moved down, has no power,( no need it something to do with wipers on Alfa but the rest works wipers, light ),  so I hooked up power to that wire before I start the engine I move the lever for 2 seconds it'll activate the fuel pump and fist klick the engine starts.  I can leave it on or move up by then ECM takes over for the fuel pump. I have to tell you, many many things were instructed by Jim Dinner who would come to my house.
