This will be the first of twelve threads. I'll be posting one Spyder per month from my collection with a description of the marker and pics. Here is the January Spyder.

This is a black E99 with stock parts and upgrades.
The upgrades include:
-unknown front block and LPC
-Centerflag regulator
-AKA valve
-polished hammer
-polished and lightened stock bolt
-Freak bored AA back, AA front
-Trinity metric to standard hose adapter

Still to come:
-different drop, ASA, and stainless hose
-clamping feedneck
-rubber grips

I love this idea and this is one I haven't seen from you yet. Did you block off the LP port on the front block with a set screw? What kind of drop/asa combo are you planning?

I too like the front block/lpc, tell us more :3

I was digging through some boxes and totes looking for a part for Jared and pulled some more Spyders out of hibernation. I'll be going through them as time allows and posting up the pics.

The front block was on a Spimmy project I purchased in the past. I took the seller at his word that it was an Intimidator front block. I've just rechecked it and there is no barb or hole as you'd find on an Intimidator front block. It's good to have extra eyes on things! Thanks Anson. I've updated my first post and corrected that. I notice that I can't get any other Spyder LPC to thread into the front block either.

As for a drop and ASA, I was thinking an OG Shocktech shorty drop and ASA. Certainly open to suggestions though.

I was thinking it almost looked like a reverse NW block but if you can't swap any other Spyder LPCs into it then I'm out of ideas too. I think ST drop/ASA combo will look great.

To add to the (now) mysterious front block, the previous owner had threaded the hole for the screw which holds the block to the body as he said there weren't threads prior. I've done a short amount of looking online and I cannot find an angled Timmy front block.

I have this same front block on my closed bolt Spyder. I got it in a deal from GanonsGrin ... Maybe he can pop in and tell us what it's from?

Yep, I've been talking with him about it. He is unsure of its origin and maker also.
