Zippi Posted February 24 Posted February 24 (edited) When I first saw the picture of this Yellow Fiat I knew I wanted to build something similar. I ordered the Tamiya kit from my local hobby shop and even though it is a 1/24 scale kit this Gentleman is small. I'm shoving a Blown SBC that I printed out in the business end and only running one seat. So far I'm liking how it's looking. Edited February 24 by Zippi 7 1
Sam I Am Posted February 24 Posted February 24 That is crazy nuts. Those are small cars. I had a 600 and four of us lifted it and put it in the back of a long box dodge pickup with the tailgate down. 😂
M W Elky Posted February 24 Posted February 24 Wow that is really different I can’t believe it all fits in there

Zippi Posted May 4 Author Posted May 4 It's been a min since I played around with this build so I pulled it back up front on the bench. I have a somewhat front suspension and radiator set up for now. Next order of business is to get the single seat fitted. 3

Zippi Posted May 6 Author Posted May 6 (edited) I finally got some sunshine and good enough weather to shoot the White Surface Primer and some other parts on the Fiat. Edited May 6 by Zippi 2
Old Nasty Posted May 7 Posted May 7 Cute little bugger. How about a little wind up key for a push bar.

Zippi Posted May 9 Author Posted May 9 I decided yesterday that I didn't want to shoot any clear on the body as It's shiny enough and it's a drag car anyway. I started the assembly process. 3
Rattlecan Dan Posted May 10 Posted May 10 You been into the glue fumes again? That's wild! Bet it's going to look great!

Zippi Posted May 12 Author Posted May 12 This will probably be the last update on the Fiat as I'm getting pretty close on this one. I got the radiator hoses installed, door panels in, rear cover finished, and black trim around the windows. 2
