Very nice Bruce. That color seared my corneas!

Great job Ray, turned out nice.

Trevor: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiat_131 Fiat 131 Abarth Rally In 1976, 400 examples of the Fiat 131 Abarth Rally were built for homologation purposes. These cars were built in a cooperation between Fiat, Bertone and Abarth. Bertone took part-completed two door standard bodyshells from the production line in Mirafiori, fitted plastic mudguards front and rear, a plastic bonnet and bootlid and modified the metal structure to accept the rear independent suspension. The cars were fully painted and trimmed and then delivered back to the Fiat special Rivalta plant where they received the Abarth mechanicals. The street version of the car used a DOHC 4 valves per cylinder derivative of the standard twin cam inline-four engine, equipped with a double downdraught 34 ADF Weber carburetors producing 140 PS (138 bhp; 103 kW) at 6400 rpm and 172 N⋅m; 127 lbf⋅ft (17.5 kg⋅m) at 3600 rpm of torque.[13] The street cars used the standard gearbox with no synchromesh (Rally type regulations required the use of the same type of synchromesh on the competition cars as on the street versions) and the hopelessly underdimensioned brake system of the small Fiat 127. Competition cars used dry sump lubrication and eventually Kugelfischer mechanical fuel injection. In race specifications, the engine produced up to 240 PS (237 bhp; 177 kW) in 1980, being driven to World Championship status by Walter Röhrl. Here is the street version: The two cars I am building are: Tarmac spec: JC Andruet 1977 Monte Carlo Gravel spec: 1980 Walter Rohrl 1980 San Remo

Got my Campagnolo wheels painted with nut/bolt detail installed.

Thanks Ray Thanks Walt. Do you have any photos or information on Goodwin's car that you would care to share?

Rear wheel opening look much better!

I don't care for it but it is interesting. Never seen it before.

Impressive work my friend.

It would be a great service to the model building community if that notebook/measurements/information where made available.

Bob's unfinished project is in the International Model Car Builders' Museum as I understand it.

Thanks Carl.

The acorn nuts certainly come in handy. Here is the street version but it will give you and idea of the exhaust note.

According to this information: https://www.fordfe.com/engine-weights-t997.html Ford 390/428 block - 185 lbs Ford 427 side oiler block - 200 lbs Haven't yet found the weight of the complete engines.

Added acorn nuts(3/4" in scale) to outer rim of my modified wheels. Modified the kit wheels into the very shallow version of the Cromodora. I need to order more acorn nuts to finish out all of these wheels.

Great build Gary. Rich Wilson another MAMA member did a build of the Flip-Top based on the Revellogram 427 body. Turned out nice from what I recall. I urged him to cast the body but not sure if he did. Surprised Shelby didn't choose the 390 in lieu of the heavier 427 for the big block project based on this car's performance at Nassau.

Impressive work Mike.

More wheel choices!! My Decalcas order finally arrived. Interesting resin color choices! The gravel spec build.

Very nice.

Love it!

Nice looking build Matt.

Very nice Gary.

Great looking Mustang Marcos.

Very nice Mark.
