Abarth Pro Street

I built this one a few years back. It has a Revell Corvette Pro Street chassis under it (similar to the Berettas chassis). I had to shorten the frame 3 inches to get it to fit under this bad boy....

Do ya think this would be a fun ride?????

Thank you all. glad ya like it.

Tom, the body is from an old battery operated model kit, not sure from who anymore.

Lazlow, I'll have to take a shot of the rear as it does have wheelie bars in the back. Short, but they r there!!! LOL

To add to this story, years ago my cousin and I were out looking for something to pro street. After stopping at two hobby stores he eyeballed this thing sitting there at 26.00 bucks back in 1990 was a bit of change. He said "Here I dare ya to do this one" I grabbed the box, uttere a few profanities and said "You got it". A week later he showed up at my place and I handed him a box of the cut offs, from the frame, shavings from the body that were cut out for clearence. He asked "What the h$@# is this for?" Then I picked up a box top that was covering this puppy, it was in primer but it was pro streeted. Needless to say he's never dared me to do anything since then!!!!!!! ........

I still like the ol pro streeters too.

Yes, but it might get tiring having to change your soiled britches after every spin around the block. :lol:

Nah, just keep a stock of 'em in the glovebox...... or go without!!!!! :wacko:
