Beautiful job and so much the more rewarding for restoring it like that.

A very nice result, and an interesting vehicle.


I wonder why Fiat used a chain drive? The car would have had to have a differential to drive the two shafts, so why not just connect them to the wheels directly? There is not much of a ratio gain from different sizes of the sprockets.


Also, what is the date of the original?

What a cracking good job. And a bargain price too!

 

[Guest]

Outstanding workmanship.

 

[Snowman]

WOW, that is a thing of beauty!!


Very nice!!


Italeri do a version in 1:12, I'd be tempted.....just like with the Ducati, get rid of the molded chain and build a PE chain.....STOP!!


Can't go there yet, I've got other stuff on my plate!


Great restoration, bub!!
