    Hello, everybody!

    I know, I know... not enough updates... my bad. Many things going on so far this year... still can't manage to get to work on the car.

    I did however manage to get ahold of the missing Cromodora wheels!! They have just arrived to my forwarder in Florida and will be on their way to my country soon. This is enough incentive for me to get working on it! It'll take 2-3 months for them to arrive, and my goal is to have everything ready by that moment, in order to get it to stand on its own four wheels for the first time in many, many years!!

    Other parts that have just arrived are the chin spoiler, one front disc brake, one rear brake caliper, instrument cluster wiring, gas filler neck and cap, and a second steering column (from a burnt car) that will provide the missing parts for that area.

    I can't wait to start putting it all together... if only I wasn't so darn busy with soooo darn many things! Darn it! I'll start sleeping less... I promise! LOL!!

    Take care everyone!!

    Sorry everybody for taking sooooo long to post an update here. Time does fly... and with so many things going on in my life I admit I didn't have the time or energy to devote myself to the progress of the project... however...

    After some gentle and romantic heating with an oxyacetilene torch... and using a hydraulic power ram, plus constant measuring dimensions with the frame blueprint on the side...

    Alright can somebody help me out with something? There are 2 spacers on the rack mount that I can't get ahold of... the only vendor that had them listed as available was Eurospares... for about 2 pounds sterling each. Anyways, I placed the order and later they wrote me back telling me that they were unable to get the parts and therefore refunded me... now, I still need those little things and I'm planning to fabricate them myself, what I need to know is the correct thickness... is it 2.7mm or 2.9mm?

    Of course, if anyone has a couple of these laying around the toolbox, I'd be more than happy to take them! LOL!!

    Thanks for the constant support, Ferrarichat community!!

    And, since we're on the topic of "spacers"... there's a spacer between the rear hubs and the disk... does anybody know what's the thickness of it??
