we should thank you for building this car and showing it to us. Meeting you was a bonus. Keep up the great work, you keep us garage builders wanting to finish our own projects. Big shout out to Mrs Jeff and sorry she is not well. All the best to her.
Love the badges! Glad you and Mike caught up, the two best builds on TH-cam. My recommendation for your lift would be to get one of those light beam interrupting switches they use with garage doors to stop them if something interrupts the light beam. Mount it pointing fore/aft on the ceiling and if any part of the top of a car interrupts the beam have it shut off the lift power.
That's a great idea! Not too hard to implement either. I think I'd do it with electronics between the button and the main UP relay for the lift - with luck inside the main handset. That way it would be minimally intrusive and I think would cover more of the possibilities than a relay. So the circuit itself gets switched on by the button and kinda does a test first to decide whether it's going to allow the button to pass current to the normal main relay. I just have a feeling that would be better than introducing another relay (and deciding whether it's going to be normally closed or normally open) with their attendant reliability problems; though Jeff would at least have parts on hand if it's a socketed relay. You could even do it in two levels, a warning height and a damage height, and introduce a beeper for when it's in between, plus maybe an orange and a red relay on the handset for 'Warning' and 'Limit up' in case the garage is noisy. Electronics is more likely to last 30 years than a relay but the most important thing to do would be to list all the use permutations of where the car is and how things could go wrong - including failure of the laser beam (or bulb?) and any of the electronic components. You don't want the pass transistor to fail as a short, though that's less likely than a relay failing, I think. Actually, they at least tend to fail open. Hmmm. (And I've got some 40 year old relays in my car.) It needs proper thought but it's a superb idea nonetheless!
Everything in/on the car is HOME BUILT BY JEFF. Even the dent. Glad you took it to the show with it. It's all part of the process/journey. I already messaged you on IG, but I've got to say it again. I've been here since the Porsche was an only child, and it was black. I really hope al this exposure at WTAC with Mike Stanceworks, Larry Chen, and so many others; make your channel explode with subs. You truly, truly deserve it. This channel should be at at least 1M subs.
The hood cut away and bump really works so perfectly. I won’t lie that when you first talked about them I couldn’t see the vision. But now I think it really adds to the car! Keep up the excellent work Jeff. So many of us are learning from the things you’re teaching here!
Can't quite believe it's been 4 years in the making. Absolutely loved the series. Watched and still watching all your builds with great awe. Being in the UK a trip to see the car wasn't on the cards. But awesome to see in the light of day. Best wishes to Mrs Jeff.
Was a pleasure meeting and talking to you at Time Attack. A massive credit to you Jeff and your craftsmanship, the Alfarrari just looks amazing in the flesh. Cannot wait to hear it fire up. Congratulations on an awesome build.
You've come such a long way with this build Jeff. Its no surprise with the amount of people showing interest. I can still remember the covered shell in your yard. You must be well and truly exhausted after the last few weeks running to a deadline for the show. Huge congratulations to you. Can't wait to see you enjoying driving your awesome creation that is the Alferrari.
You have absolutely nothing to be ashamed of anywhere on that car. The dent is there to show that even the really talended sometime makes mistakes. And that is comforting for the rest of us.
Much congratulations on having the Alfa out of the garage and on display. It’s been quite rewarding to be along for the ride on this awesome build all these years. I truly can’t wait to see it running. You’re an inspiration Jeff. Keep up the amazing work and content. 🤙
I've been watching this built from the beginning and it's my favourite TH-cam content.............The anticipation of waiting for the engine startup is killing me!
Wow, the stance this car has is great. Those wheels really look gorgeous. It's awesome to see it sitting out in the open. Can see how really compact it is. Featherweight but with so much power! This baby is gonna be a screamer. The badges are mad fun, and came out looking perfect. That's funny, but also a tribute to two automotive legends. Just gotta smile. Oh yah, and it was hard to tell how dusty she was on camera, until the wash & wax. The difference was noticeable immediately. ... ooohhh SHINY!
You did what Alfa Romeo should have done it self. You reunited Alfa and Ferrari as they were used to be before Ferrari become its own brand, that a good tribute to Alfa Romeo. Great job, and looks amazing!
Jef I use those swimming noodles to stop the car doors hitting the wall. You could run one or two under the beam(s) for a few bucks. Great work anyhow.
Maaaaaasterpiece! Absolutely love it! My dad had one in the 80s before anyone even thought of making classic cars work. Flip a coin, weekend at the seaside, or stuck at home watching the AA guy get lost in the electrics. That is just perfect
Was great to meet you at WTAC and see the car in person. Almost made the $90 entry worth it! I couldn't believe the quality of work and I had to look really hard to find any flaw. Much better work than should come out of a home garage! Great work and hope to see something again next year! Or maybe see something RUN on the track?
Hi Jeff, was great to meet you and have a quick chat at the show on Friday. The car looks amazing, love the stickers. Thanks again for your time, meeting Mike and yourself were the standout highlights of the show for me!
After all the hours of hard work, passion and craftsmanship you’ve put into the car I can’t imagine the feeling when it went into the roof. Feel for you Jeff… all fixable though, as you said.
It was so great to see this marvelous machine in person. and after talking to you and mike as well as a few others I may have finally found the motivation to get moving on my project again. so thanks GEoff 😆
A massive congratulations Jeff. I stumbled across your channel during COVID lockdown in 2020 and have never missed an episode since. I'm on the home stretch of a Lancia Stratos (replica) build and have shared your emotional rollercoaster but the end result makes every hour worth it. Keep up the great work and can't wait to hear it run soon. Steve, Uk
@@AlastairSmith Hi Alastair, good to hear from you. Yes an LB with a 3.0 24v Busso. I started in November 2019! It's my first kit car build so a very steep learning curve coupled with I'm a perfectionist and supply chain issues during and since COVID. On positives though, the engineering is sublime, the finish is first class and aesthetically it's mechanical porn!! Where are you based? Are you a paid member of the SEC?
What a proud moment for you! It's been a pleasure watching this project come together. Can't wait to see some rolling shots and some open road driving. Keep up the great work, even with the mistakes 🤙
Congratulations Jeff, the badges are the sort of detail I just love. Also congratulations on simply sticking with the project through all its various phases and showing the world what can be done in your home garage. Cheers from Tassie.
We are emotionally invested in you Jeff, in Mrs.Jeff and this car and all your builds Your skills are getting outrageously good and of course you’d expect a crowd round this beaut Every blood sweat and beers have brought pure joy and happiness to thousands I’m super proud of you 🏴🇦🇺🏆
It was great to see the car at WTAC and say g’day very briefly. It was my favourite car of that day, and there were a lot of very well built cars. The sheer lunacy of shoehorning a big engine into a little car really tickles me. It’s like the AC/Shelby Cobra or the Giacatollo (which I realised a day too late was at WTAC!), but home built! Keep up the good work.
Geez 4 Yrs!! 4 more yrs! 4 more yrs! 4more yrs! Been a great ride your channel is fun informative we love the last minutes of every episode with the Mrs. Whats next? going to be hard to match the last 2 big restos. Time for a wooden boat! Great channel congrats on the success of the Alferrari!
I've pretty much followed this build from near the beginning. There were times that I wanted to shout at the screen and say 'Don't do that Jeff' ....... But at the end of the day...stunning........On to the next build
When you lifted the hoist to get the front spring out, I actually shouted, ''Noooo!!'' - True story. Scared for life. Great to see it on its wheels and being appreciated. Can't believe its been 4 years now. Hope I get to see it one day. Great work mate.
Was really great to get a quick chat to you on friday you are an awesome guy and great to chat to. The car looks amazing and that interior smell from the leather was awesome as well. Can't wait to see this beast driving.
Such a shame I couldn’t make it up from Melbourne for wtac to meet you, see the Alfa and also Jay’s prairie! I’ve loved the build all the way through Jeff, you do you and we’ll always keep watching!
Maybe use a "doorway beam"? Laser with reflector, when something breaks the beam it chimes the doorbell "bing bong". Or just zip tie an air horn with a big rubber button to the beam? Congratulations on the reveal, looking great. Can't wait for the start up. 👍
It was great to shake your hand and admire your handiwork at WTAC Jeff! What an event, eh? Apart from the on-track action, there was so much to see and so many people to meet.
Missed it with Fathers Day celebrations on. I'm sure I'll catch it soon down in the Highlands. Well done with the unveiling, and I hope you felt fantastic with all the positive comments. Cheers Jeff 🇦🇺🇮🇹
Fantastic project, my compliments! In Sweden I went through 5 different Alfas, now when I live in Italy I have non at the moment, that's how life goes sometimes.
Dang straight it’s filthy. Filthy hot! Nailed it, Jeff. Makes the rest of us 105 nerds reconsider our boring twinspark swaps …. Ehhh Not so filthy! Mate. Nailed it!
I drew lines on my lift next to the hand control, each line was named with what car would clear the roof so when the arms reached a particular cars height i knew to quit before i hit the roof beams .
I Can't wait to hear it and see it running and finally properly finished. I've been watching week after week so for the final video please do it longer with more details. I have enjoyed most of the build and love so fare how its turned out but mainly how much I've learned, what I admire is the quality free of cutting corners the details of the build is something I'm afraid to ask the cost and just LOVE THE CAR SO MUCH. later please show footage of it running or racing and what problems you came across. Thank You.
Yee-haa
You met Mike and his Honda Swapped Ferrari
My other long build program
That's AWSOME !!!!
Congrats Jeff!
But a lift limit is child’s play… I have a 7 currently 😳
Greetings from the coast of SoCal ❤️
Congrats, Jeff. I really enjoyed all these years this process of creation of this project. Job done, mate!!!

Thanks for pumping out a video, Jeff. I reckon you’ve had a massive weekend, so the effort is well appreciated!
so happy for you Jeff, almost there !
You've come such a long way with this build Jeff. Its no surprise with the amount of people showing interest. I can still remember the covered shell in your yard.

G'day from West Australia, Jeff😉
You did well Jeff, Take my hat off to you🙂👍👍
( Old sign of respect from a time long gone).
I've been watching this built from the beginning and it's my favourite TH-cam content.............The anticipation of waiting for the engine startup is killing me!
Congratulations mate she’s a beauty can’t wait to see her go.
Limit switches are easy to install on a car lift, works similar to an E stop, perfect for your application Jeff
Wow, the stance this car has is great. Those wheels really look gorgeous. It's awesome to see it sitting out in the open. Can see how really compact it is. Featherweight but with so much power! This baby is gonna be a screamer. The badges are mad fun, and came out looking perfect. That's funny, but also a tribute to two automotive legends. Just gotta smile.
Oh yah, and it was hard to tell how dusty she was on camera, until the wash & wax. The difference was noticeable immediately. ... ooohhh SHINY!
Congratulations to you and Mrs Jeff, it was a team effort and it's a real winner
You did what Alfa Romeo should have done it self.
You reunited Alfa and Ferrari as they were used to be before Ferrari become its own brand, that a good tribute to Alfa Romeo.
Great job, and looks amazing!
Jef I use those swimming noodles to stop the car doors hitting the wall. You could run one or two under the beam(s) for a few bucks. Great work anyhow.
I’m not sure a pool noodle will do much against a lift that’s made to pick up a car.
It’s more a warning. They compress pretty well.
Maaaaaasterpiece! Absolutely love it! My dad had one in the 80s before anyone even thought of making classic cars work. Flip a coin, weekend at the seaside, or stuck at home watching the AA guy get lost in the electrics. That is just perfect
A proud "daddy"....and his baby. Great Job, Jeff!!! You are a master of your craft! Congratulations!
Was great to meet you at WTAC and see the car in person. Almost made the $90 entry worth it!
I couldn't believe the quality of work and I had to look really hard to find any flaw. Much better work than should come out of a home garage!
Great work and hope to see something again next year! Or maybe see something RUN on the track?
I can't wait for the first drive video!
Hi Jeff, was great to meet you and have a quick chat at the show on Friday. The car looks amazing, love the stickers. Thanks again for your time, meeting Mike and yourself were the standout highlights of the show for me!
Such a pretty car! The epoxy on the stickers gives them a slight patina look (judging from the video) and I tink that makes them even more realistic.
I'm so happy for you Jeff! It is heartwarming to see you get the international recognition for your work!
Great to see the interest from the crowds at WTAC. Bet your itching to get the little beauty on the road now.
No words can describe this car Jeff. Thanks for sharing your content.
The car just keeps getting better and you got well deserved attention at world time attack well done Jeff
great work as always. was good to finally meet and have a chat.
Congratulations, beautiful car, beautiful job. Don't forget to thank Mrs Jeff. It's hard to believe it took 4 years. I enjoyed every episode. Thanks
Just a great car. Particularly exceptional as Jeff did practically all the work himself. Anyone would be proud to own this beautiful machine.
The car looks amazing and the badges add so much to it. Great choices. Can’t wait to hear it start up.
Jeff - It just keeps getting better and better! What a beautiful car. Can't wait to see you drive it when its ready. Great job.
Hi Jeff and Mrs. Jeff,
the two of you have well deserved the big read in the American CarBuzz today! Congratulations!
Thanks Jeff for not only providing some great entertainment while I have my morning coffee but thanks for building such a unique, beautiful car
After all the hours of hard work, passion and craftsmanship you’ve put into the car I can’t imagine the feeling when it went into the roof. Feel for you Jeff… all fixable though, as you said.
So pleased it went so well, I will say she is looking superb.
I hope Mrs Jeff is feeling better.
Wow!
Your car looks so nice.
Really nice job Jeff.
Well done! Such a compelling project. It must've been great meeting your public! Xx
terrific stuff my friend followed you from the off so glad to the owd gal out in the sunshine looking forward to hearing her roar well done mate
Fantastic effort mate, I’m so stoked with how it’s coming!
Thanks mate :D
Glad you tagged up with Mike. His build is incredible. Looking forward to seeing the Alfa run.
It was so great to see this marvelous machine in person. and after talking to you and mike as well as a few others I may have finally found the motivation to get moving on my project again. so thanks

Thanks mate. It has been a long time coming :D
The "Prancing Dragon" is a genius idea, kudos Jeff.
Mammoth effort, Looks brilliant. Respect.
We are emotionally invested in you Jeff, in Mrs.Jeff and this car and all your builds
Your skills are getting outrageously good and of course you’d expect a crowd round this beaut
Every blood sweat and beers have brought pure joy and happiness to thousands
I’m super proud of you 🏴🇦🇺🏆
An awesome looking car Jeff !! All the work has paid off !!
Love the Biscione (serpent) and prancing horse combo. Very unique to the car and perfectly represents the secret under the hood

Been watching since the beginning.
Amazing job Jeff. Congratulations on getting it to the show. I can't wait to hear it run and especially drive.
Sitting well now. What a beautiful car. Well done Jeff on a great build so far.
Maybe use a "doorway beam"? Laser with reflector, when something breaks the beam it chimes the doorbell "bing bong". Or just zip tie an air horn with a big rubber button to the beam? Congratulations on the reveal, looking great. Can't wait for the start up. 👍
Another great car from the Jeff stable….. a credit to you and all your efforts, keep the vids comin 👍🍺
As for the roof dent, would 'Glue Pulling' be an option? Might be worth looking in to.
Congratulations on this particular milestone. More to come I’m certain. 🇨🇦
It was great to shake your hand and admire your handiwork at WTAC Jeff!
What an event, eh? Apart from the on-track action, there was so much to see and so many people to meet.
Congratulations she looks amazing! Glad you ran into Mike at the show he builds some cool cars too!
Missed it with Fathers Day celebrations on. I'm sure I'll catch it soon down in the Highlands. Well done with the unveiling, and I hope you felt fantastic with all the positive comments. Cheers Jeff 🇦🇺🇮🇹
Fantastic project, my compliments! In Sweden I went through 5 different Alfas, now when I live in Italy I have non at the moment, that's how life goes sometimes.
Exceptional job Jeff. Congratulations from France. You can be proud of yourself. Can’t wait to see it on the road !!! 😊
It is looking very good. Your honesty (i.e the dinged roof) is so refreshing.
a positive week after the previous one, the car looks great and nice that you have had so much interest, the badges turned out very nice 👍🏻😎
Congrats Jeff. What a beauty in every detail. I am a huge fan of your work and enthusiasm. Greetings from the other side of the world. Namibia
Those wheels that colour - and the badges! Looks purposeful and characterful - can’t wait to hear it spark up❤
Smiled all the way through this Jeff, I’ve really loved following this build, top man, Bravo! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Dang straight it’s filthy. Filthy hot!
Nailed it, Jeff.
Makes the rest of us 105 nerds reconsider our boring twinspark swaps …. Ehhh
Not so filthy!
Mate. Nailed it!
A huge congratulations on the milestone and time well spent!
It was great to see the Alferrari in Mike's Stanceworks video
What a stunning car! I also love the badges for the front and rear.
Really enjoyed your journey. Can’t wait for you to turn the motor over next.
Looks amazing, so good to see it near complete. Go Jeff!
Hi Jeff the coments about your Alfarrari comes across the ocean, good for you !
I drew lines on my lift next to the hand control, each line was named with what car would clear the roof so when the arms reached a particular cars height i knew to quit before i hit the roof beams .
I had the 911 one before and last week added the lower Alfa one ;)
I was hoping you and Mike would get to catch up.. what an awesome build Jeff.. and now we need to hear it running.. ;)
Looks absolutely incredible. I love the badges
I Can't wait to hear it and see it running and finally properly finished. I've been watching week after week so for the final video please do it longer with more details.
I have enjoyed most of the build and love so fare how its turned out but mainly how much I've learned, what I admire is the quality free of cutting corners the details of the build is something I'm afraid to ask the cost and just LOVE THE CAR SO MUCH. later please show footage of it running or racing and what problems you came across.
Thank You.
Congratulations Jeff, what an effort! just stunning. There are not many who can do what you do! Well done. :)
Bravo, bravo complimenti hai fatto veramente un bel lavoro. Tanta passione, bravo.
What a journey, watching you and this masterpiece almost from the start, feels as familiar as my cars do. Good job Jeff 👍
Congratulations from Greece!!! Excellent work!!!
Props to you Jeff! unreal build and so much work, definitely paid off!
Congratulations! Mike's Ferrari is another amazing build. You both are my most favorite builders. Can't wait to see the Alfa driving!
