Hello, and welcome to the forum. Congratulations on your entry into Spider ownership. How long have you had it? It sounds like you and your sons are getting to spend a good bit of quality time together with the project, that's great.
Let us see pics of her soon.

We've had the car since November. It was cold through march here in MN. So after it got warm, we hit it big time.

Nice! There is something really rewarding about spending quality time working on your Fiat. I can't wait until my son is old enought to help me work on mine.

Welcome: I'm from Iowa and get to MN quite often. I don't ussually take the fiat as its for other reasons then fun I go there, so ussually have the company van. but interested in a couple hour ride, I'll drive somewhere to meet?

I used to live in Elysian MN, Straight south of you on Hwy 60 between Fairibult and Mankato.

Is there much Fiat Activity in MN? or are they all rusted out from the winter time?

We can be friends as long as you don't start with the Iowa/Minn jokes!
