With the pending Chrysler/Fiat merge coming up, I'd thought I'd finally build one of my favorite lil cars Fiat had to offer...and hope they pass this 4 cylinder to us along the way!
The color is my closest pic of the old Gulf racing bluegreen. The white stripe is painted but the black lines are decals{cheat where ya can}. The seat belts are black ribbon from hobby lobby. Lots of solvaset went into getting the seatbelt decals to settle into the ribbon...and it worked.
The car is about 90% done...1-2 more clear coats with wet sanding between, odd details to attach and she's good. Oh, the rims and tires are off of a 2010 Dodge challenger....seemed appropriate..and looked better than the oems.
Stay tuned for the final lap...

My first thought was the Revell kit. They aren't one in the same, are they?
