1938 Fiat Coupe C/A c. 1959
description: based on a M&RofMd resin body, this model features an engine, front axle, rear end & wheels from an AMT 49 Ford kit & w/w slicks from Modelhaus. also, carbs, headers & a pair of early 'Stones from my parts box.
everything else was fabricated by me, including frame, front suspension, fuel tank, intake manifold, throttle linkages, fuel system plumbing, bellhousing, engine mounts, all driver controls & attendant linkages, rollcage, seat, seatbelts, seatbelt hardware & body mounts.
every attempt was made to adhere to the "hop-up" & construction techniques, as well as paint & graphics, of the era.
