Title: Deep Passion....another gasser made in Italy Post by: Mauro Cattan on May 19, 2007, 13:24:45 pm Hi guys, I'm happy to present to you the last hot Italian project.
Its name is "Deep Passion". I'm talking about this 54 oval window found some years ago incomplete and in really bad condition. Felt a mission impossible to restore it but after 300.000.000 hours the project is nearly finished. ;D Enjoy....

Run-down on what happened today. Front axle, aluminium floor and pedals assembly have take place on the frame. GO GO GOOOOO ;D (http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/7536/telaioavantrenoic4.jpg) (http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/6497/telaiosupportiyh0.jpg) Zach...here you can see the rear cut. In the front the roof was cut as you can see in the pic#8 from the top (http://img514.imageshack.us/img514/9613/tagliorearquartereo7.jpg) Ciao Mauro Title: Re: Deep Passion....another gasser made in Italy Post by: Zach Gomulka on May 19, 2007, 23:39:18 pm Cool! So the whole rear section of the roof was dropped straight down? Was it leaned forward too?
Title: Re: Deep Passion....another gasser made in Italy Post by: empicolector on May 20, 2007, 00:18:46 am nice work on topshop and floorpan ready for EBI? :D
Title: Re: Deep Passion....another gasser made in Italy Post by: Mauro Cattan on May 20, 2007, 00:32:49 am Quote nice work on topshop and floorpan ready for EBI? heheheeeeheheaaa it MUST be ready for EBI ;D Zach.....Yes it was leaned forward. If I remember well the eliminated body section (lateral vision) was 5cm at the rear and 11cm at the windshield. My friend Fabio has some pics about the measurements before the cut.....you know what I mean.....with masking tape. Tomorrow I'll show them for sure Good night Mauro Title: Re: Deep Passion....another gasser made in Italy Post by: 71CALRIPPER on May 20, 2007, 12:15:05 pm that is class, :o
