      My newest project is an Alfa 8C2300 rolling chassis and display engine. The body will be a Monza, but it's going to be displayed off the chassis.

      The engine in the chassis will be fabricated with a magneto start. The display engine will feature the distributor starter.

      Hopefully about 9 to 12 months from now, The Satin Doll will have another little sister.

      Andy.

    Finally got around to shooting some primer Alfa 8C Chassis and Display Engine on the much-modified frame. Time to get back to the engine.

    I now realize I should have been more specific.

    Now that I've lot my job, I can really focus on the Alfa. Major fabrication is now complete. The throttle advance was an interesting endeavor. The new fender struts were the last big pieces that I had to fabricate on the chassis. Now prepping Alfa 8C Chassis and Display Engine all the chassis and engine pieces for paint and plating. Will start work on the body in the next day or two.

    If I can stay unemployed for another six weeks, she'll debut at The Glenmoor Gathering. I never realized how much being gainfully employed cut into my shop time.

    With the big event coming up in September, I'm inspired to get this 8C done in time for a proper coming out party.

    Andy.

    Looking forward to seeing the real deal at the Glenmoor Gathering; last year there was a real one of these there.

    Keep up the great work!

    Thanks for the kind words. I just hope I can have her done in September. I'd love to have her finished for her debut at Glenmoor.
