1958 Giulietta Sprint Veloce – AR1493E*06611
The quest to complete five cars simultaneously continues at a snail pace. Actually, it is not that I am moving slow – but it is rather that there are millions and millions of parts to clean, restore, inspect, and install and we will get to that part later. For now, I want to share my…
Work on 06611 continues, all metal work is done (Thank God)!!!! and the final cleaning is happening. Now ready for the Metal prep and epoxy primer. Once epoxy primer is applied I will be moving on to the 58 Spider Veloce. Another current work in progress.
All of the wiring harness work, the unusual Texas cold winter and other family and business affairs have been keeping me from maintaining steady progress on Sprint 06611 sheet metal work. Removing, making a trunk floor from a flat sheet of metal, and installing the floor in the car took a lot more work and time than I…

Happy to report that progress on my Giulietta Sprint Veloce E0611 is coming full throttle. As of this Saturday, all the floors are done. I was lucky enough to stumble into the correct size bead roller needed to make the floor boards and trunk floor strengthening channels by accident, after numerous attempts to find one….
06611 has just undergone extensive hand planishing to restore the front end.
It has been a while since I posted on the now famous E06611, the last first series 750 Sprint Veloce.
