The restauration of the Spider Veloce from 1985 of Brock Brinkerhoff from Alabaster.

         
UPDATE

She's rolling on her own!!!
I spent most of the day reworking the drivers side lower 2" tube. I found I hadn't allowed for the nut on the end of the bolt retaining the lower control arm to be removed easily. I had to fix this by lowering the hole that the 2" went through the front cross member..

 
 
 
 
* ....
* Here is the passenger side going together.
* And the front suspension together for the first time. Because I was test fitting everything, I tack welded (ok, more than just a tack weld) the lowers so that I could make sure everything was going to be in the right place.
* Here she is on blocks prior to rolling her out for the first time.
 
 
 
 
* And here she is in the driveway!.
 
 
 
 
 
 
* And here she is from the front - I know this is a lot of tire (275's on the front) but everything works out. Of course, without the front bumper you can see everything, but can you imagine what this will be like at the track.
* Here's a shot from below with the front setup (dummy coil over included).

Today has been really exciting - She's rolled for the first time on her new suspension and everything looks awesome. There is still a ton of work to do, but we're moving along.
