Fiat 500 Build: Late Night

More articles by »
Written by: Ernie Manansala

Late night at L-Con; the sound of power tools and 80′s hits echo off of the shop walls. Outside, a gutted Fiat 500 sits awaiting its transformation.

The new wood floor has been installed and stained green; the same green as the drawers in the box.

A Girl Skateboard accents the back hatch beautifully.

We pulled her back into the garage for better lighting as we wired the car for all of its accessories. Lucky supervises.

Wires everywhere… so you know its going to be good.

These wires are for the monitors that will drop down from the roof and that green stain will end up pulling the whole car together. Each week we get closer to SEMA and each week we get closer to being finished with this car.

We are more than excited to park this thing at Meguiar’s Car Crazy booth and watch it turn heads. This Fiat isn’t going to look like J-Lo’s at all.
