  1. IVO would be proud of this model!!!  You did a beautiful job putting this together. I really like this one.

    I worked with IVO for years on his cars (4 eng - 2 eng - T-bucket etc) and he loved to tell many stories when he was sitting there with you. 

    NOTE: - One of the first times I've seen "Amos Satterlee" decal on a model. Amos built the motor (392 Chrysler Hemi) for my Blown Fuel Altered - MAGIC MUFFLER FIAT.

    Amos sadly passed away some time back and was referred to as "Famous Amos" since he built so many World Championship motors from Dragsters to Drag Boats. He's legendary!

    Again, great job!

  2. Nice to see a Fuel Altered that not many people are familiar with today.

    I searched for this car to do a restoration on it about 25 to 30 yrs ago. The car disappeared out of the Bakersfield area around 1970's.

    I've spoken with the people from Valley Steel and the only remaining thing of the car is a huge poster on the wall of the managers office.

    Since I was unable to find the car to do the restoration or preserve it then I continued on with the "Magic Muffler" Fiat Blown Fuel Altered.

    That particular car now resides in my garage.  Hopefully I'll find the Valley Steel Fiat as I still look for it periodically. I'm building a model of it as well.
