I got lucky, my 74 had the small bumperettes in the front, then a big truck backed up into me and smashed the front of the car. So when I took it to the repair place, they said they could not order the same front bumper but they had the bumper without the two protruding ugly things sticking out so they put that on. Unfortunately I still have the back bumper looking that way but at least it is steel except for the two protrusions which are black. But nobody notices that. everything else I have because it's a 74 except the radio which I do not think is necessary. My problem now is the Spica pump is failing and you can't find anybody to work on those so I will have to swap it out for carbs

It stops at about 3/4 open and sticks up above the body, it won't collapse fully into the body. Do you have any tips or advice on how to fix? Is there any specific part of the mechanism I need to look at? Many thanks

The Alfa soft top is made out of a marine style canvas duck cloth which is natural fiber based and as such, it will not fit correctly the first time. With effort, you get it on and you must get the roof completely wet and let it dry in the sun, a couple time. Eventually it will max out and stretch and stay at that length/size literally forever or until it wears out. It takes time and patience. What you DONT want to do is put a new or recent top that has collected moisture, even early evening dew, away for the night with the top down, it will recede over night and be even more difficult to restretch. SO, remember, take the time when you first get your top, stretch it correctly and it will last a lifetime and always fit perfectly 👍

I need to disagree with your original premise that a period correct custom would reflect the manufacture date. I have built several period correct customs based on the era they would gave been customized. In the fifties people were customizing cars from the 30's and 40's. Not to many people were rich enough to go buy a brand new car and start cutting it up. The last car I built was a 53 chevy as it would have been raced in the mid 60's. Using only parts that would've been available in the day. I really like what you did, but that is only your way of customizing. Not the definitive way if customizing. Be well, and keep wrenching. You'll get it right one day.

Your videos are always very informative but this does nothing to help. It’s just the installation book. I would have enjoyed a how to video to help like Cheftush’s video. (he does leave out some intricate parts however). Here are some tips that you should include: * If you cut the old top off you can access the hardware from the outside. It makes it much easier to reach. * There are 22 5mm nuts that need to be removed. It pays to spray some penetrating oil or even WD40 on them at least 12 hours before you begin. Let it soak in so you don’t break the bolt stems. They can be rusted. * The channel is often rusted so be prepared to replace it along with a new rubber seal. Order both ahead of time so you don’t set time aside to do the job, but then get stuck. * Make sure you remove ALL glue from the old top left on the rails and in the header pocket. Refinish with black satin paint if needed. * Leave all of the bolts loose as described in the rear until everything is done. * Make sure the lip of the new top meets the window channel evenly. Too many people leave it loose on their first try (like me). Eyeball it before you glue it in place. * Get a second set of hands to help you place the rubber channel seal in place. A new one will be very pliable and can tear VERY easily. Ask me how I know...lol * Use a quality rivet gun and stainless steel rivets to avoid any rust. * Don’t rush. This is NOT a tough job, but it does require your attention to detail.
