First off, to address some comments: I do have the original air filter assembly, the problem is, the Solex I am using is the later type that doesn’t clear the airbox.\u00a0 I suppose the correct Solex could fix the lack of an air cleaner problem too.<\/p>\n

So, Sumday (thanks Grandaddy for coming up with that one) is the day I add it all up.\u00a0 It may be premature since I haven’t fixed the possibly low oil pressure or settled on a carb, but I think I am close.\u00a0 Below is a tally of work done and how much it cost.\u00a0 I am presenting this as educational material for those who, like me at the outset, think they can cut corners and save some cash.\u00a0 I honestly thought this would cost “about $3000”.\u00a0 Pictures have little to do with this post.<\/p>\n

\"sprintsssssss1\"<\/a>I had lunch with Laurence on Friday and he thought a side-by-side of our semi-significant others would be fun and informative.\u00a0 His is a Sprint Veloce made 3\/58, mines a Sprint made 10\/59.\u00a0 Both are long term Bay Area cars with similar patina, though his is nicer in most ways.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"sprint-noses1\"<\/a>Another view.\u00a0 Very similar shapes that on close inspection are very different.<\/strong><\/p>\n

So, drum-roll please, here it is, the machining etc first:<\/p>\n
