After spending more weekends than I planned in painting my own home (something I always wanted to do, but now I'll never do again!), I finally had some time to show some love to the Spyder.
I had ordered some custom pedal covers from Brian Sullivan at Sullivan Racing Products https://www.srpracing.com/ and I'm thrilled at how they came out. Brian was great to work with, very communicative, and swift in fabrication and shipping. I will admit, however, that after spending a while on my belly up in the footwell of the Spyder, I've got sore back muscles and some bruises on my elbows from the bulkhead. 
The next project was installing correct brake and turn signal lights. Of course, as usual with these cars, what was supposed to be a quick switch out turned into something more complicated, as the new light assemblies were too big for the existing holes in the body. So, out came the jigsaw.
The last to-do was removing the meatballs I installed on the doors and replacing them with larger versions. I had one of the smaller balls left over from the original order, so I mounted it on the hood. Unfortunately, in removing the driver's side decal, some of the paint came off with it -- about a 2X3 inch patch -- surprised the heck out of me. So now, the decal has a visible "crater" in the middle. I'll deal with that at a later date. My wife says she doesn't get why it's on an angle. All I could tell her was that was the way they frequently did it back when the 550 was raced in the 50s. It's all about the details, right?
