Ready for paint ?

Didn't know if anyone had seen this yet, just found it on a mostly VW site, seemed worth posting:

Why would you put a Beetle suspension under a Fiat 600? That just seems stupid.

Was very popular back in the day. The Fiats were rear engine rear drive as well and it was much easier to get parts to make power out of a VW engine than the Fiat motors.

The "Giant Killer" drag car referenced in the Ad

popular to do with the 850 as well

I am going to hope it was because the entire underside of the car was rusted away, that and drag racing isn't exactly handling critical so a Bug beam is just fine.

The little giant killer used the stock front suspension from the 600 but used the Bug rear bits.

Darrell Vittone's 850 used the Fiat rear suspension mated to VW axles and a custom straight axle up front based on bug torsion springs in a custom tube.

There is a cool un-hotlinkable picture of the underside of Vittone's fiat here
