Kim must have been stoked to see that roll in.... that looks like a Gkafer project

red snapper · « **Reply #2 on:** November 18, 2004, 07:02:12 AM »

Thanks for posting Matt. \"PROJECT RED SNAPPER\". 56 Fiat 600. Beleive it or not the body is pretty solid. factory suicide doors, Full sliding ragtop. The body is sitting on a early beetle pan. This is what is going to take the most work as it is unfinished. The motor is a 1600 dual port(still turns over). What I will be doing is, Big motor, full cage, Slicks, one color paint job, lowered in the front. Oh, Pointblank, Kim hasnt even commented on it yet. I think shes still in shock. I will post more pictures as I start into it. Thanks for looking. Brian.

Hmmm.

Cal-look Fiat

:lol: . I`m wondering if I could fit a chevette on to a Bug pan :lol: .

That is going to be kick ass when you are done. I cant wait to hear what the announcer at Mission is going to say when you roll out the fiat, lay down some rubber and point the little stubby front end in the sky :lol: :lol: .

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I LOVE it!!!! Always wanted one of those. Looks like you found a solid car to start with, I'd say it was worth the drive!

red snapper · « **Reply #14 on:** November 19, 2004, 07:07:07 AM »

Hey Gavin, I got the car in Fresno Calif. I found it in October when I was on my honeymoon.

OUTKAST · « **Reply #15 on:** November 19, 2004, 10:30:30 AM »

Hey Brian did you get any of the hard to fiind parts lights 'bumpers 'latches and glass or are you going to comppletley redo it as you go . You better get on the Geoff wagen we want to see it's progress
CANY WAIT

If you need to sell it call me

red snapper · « **Reply #16 on:** November 19, 2004, 11:27:48 AM »

Hey Moose, the car came complete. I have all the glass, taillight bezels, door handles,ect. The only thing that Im missing is the rear bumper. I did get another parts car. The whole car would not fit in the truck bed so we cut off the front and threw out the rest. I will not say as to when it will be done as I have learned that from other peoples mistakes. :lol:

Really cool project, should provide a lot of smiles and confusion from other drivers.

This one?

Most months at the monthly London Ace Cafe VW meet we get to see this roof chopped 2176 48IDA'd NOS'd Fiat 600 (Peter Englezos from the Cogbox) going for it!! Brilliant to watch, goes like a bullet!

el_flechador · « **Reply #21 on:** November 29, 2004, 02:16:23 PM »

No it wasn't the above one,which is much cooler. the one i saw was dark greenor dark blue. Must be sweet on the street....

red snapper · « **Reply #22 on:** November 30, 2004, 09:32:53 AM »

I dont know that other fiat, hmmm, might have to find out about that one. as fro the one in the pic its mental on teh street! ...and on the strip he managaed to get all 4 wheels off the ground this year!

its got a detachable steering wheel as Peter Englezos isnt a small bloke, 6ft something and 220+lbs.

good luck with the project red snapper!

Thank you mrsmythe.

I have seen those ripping up corners at the SOVERN races at Mission. They aren't the fastest, but they are definitely unique... What powers those typically??
Come to think of it, I have footage of one of the races... They have an interesting sound with the foot into it a bit... They compete against Formula Vees- Now--those things sound WAY cool!

red snapper · « **Reply #26 on:** December 30, 2004, 09:33:52 AM »

Im not really sure what type of motor powers them as mine was already fitted with a VW power plant. I dont think they were ever intended to go fast though.
