I recon it will make a sweeeeeet little rod

I saw one of these at the hotrod show in brisbane once, the guy had turned it into a salt flat land speed car. It had a 253 Holden V8 in it and was a fair bit longer than the original topolino ever was, he actually had the land speed record for whatever his class was too, though i reckon with what he had he should have been able to go a lot faster than he did.
Anyway it looked pretty cool with the longer front, he had lengthened the car by basically making a longer distance between the grill and the firewall, it just made it look a lot longer lower and meaner,
just an idea for you to play around with i guess,
should make a good little rod
cheers

Love these Fiats, cant wait to see it done. Oh, & its a three window.

the more people i talk to to more i find that its rare to get a hardtop. most of them were the fold back vinyl style roof. Don't know if thats true or not??

Nah. Will hit the EK wagon first, once thats stripped and ready for rust repairs we'll start getting the Topo ready for the chassis fab. till then will just collect parts ready for it and order some steel for the chassis.
Can't wait to start it though. will be a cool little rod

And the Olds, at least with the spinner all your panels are good. not alot of rust free stuff on the Olds.
