59 Impala Posted August 12, 2020 Posted August 12, 2020 (edited) A little different outlook for the little Fiat. I used a 4 cylinder Pontiac engine from the parts box and found a 4 barrel manifold that look like one I saw on the net. I painted the White letters on the tires and the head lights are from the AMT 25 T kit. The tail lights are half of the custom lights from the 59 El Camino kit. The front fenders are also from the 25 T. I made the headers out of plastruct. The wheels are painted with the Molotov chrome ink. The bucket seats are from the parts box and the dash is from the AMT 36 Ford convertible parts. The steering wheel is a cut down 40 Ford unit made to fit. The paint is Testors Gloss Black with Kustom Kolors sparkle paint mixed in clear. I hope ya like it. Edited August 12, 2020 by 59 Impala
doorsovdoon Posted August 13, 2020 Posted August 13, 2020 That's different, don't think I've ever seen a Topolino hot rod. It works really well! Very nice.
59 Impala Posted August 13, 2020 Author Posted August 13, 2020 Thanks guys. This was a fun but challenging build.
espo Posted August 13, 2020 Posted August 13, 2020 Looks great. I like how you went with the Tempest 4 cyl engine. Most of this body style are only seen on the Drag Strip in an Altered class. Well done on the paint work and I also like the interior colors .
TarheelRick Posted August 13, 2020 Posted August 13, 2020 Might cool little rod. Just hope who ever rides with you has some good deodorant, that is a really confined cockpit.
Snake45 Posted August 13, 2020 Posted August 13, 2020 Different and therefore interesting. Very imaginative--congrats on thinking outside the proverbial box. Well done and model on!
59 Impala Posted August 13, 2020 Author Posted August 13, 2020 Thanks for the kind words guys and yep, there should be a real good deodorant used in this car. LOL. Tight fit fer sure.
59 Impala Posted August 16, 2020 Author Posted August 16, 2020 Thanks guys. This was a fun and different build, plus, I got to use some of my spare parts. LOL
