Pictured are two of the three Engineers that worked on the Fiat back in late 60s and early 70s to compete in the Shell Mileage Marathon. Left and front is Doug Carlson. To the right is Rich Trokey. The third Engineer was Jim Jones (deceased). Doug and Rich were reunited with the Fiat from way back. Lots of memories and stories flew in conversations. Was glad the two were able to see the car again.
Pictured is my brother (right) Damon Smith and myself. Damon is credited with sheet metal repair and professional advice. Damon is an experienced professional autobody repair man. Proof is in the posted pictures.
