thanks henry, do you know anything about them or the body?

Both guys I've known who had a Minotti LIECA them very much. You CANON find a better '33/4 body. FUJI could make bigger mistakes. HMMMM, would he have to pay a PENTAX on that?

NIKON get down with that!

I've seen a few Minotti cars, but they were finished, and I don't know how much of the final product was the manufacturer or the final builder. However, I've heard nothing but good Minotti's cars. He's noted for swoopy designs - particularly his '37 Ford.

Some other photos of one of his 37's.

thats one nice 37.
thanks for the info. my brothers 34 looks first class. i belive he got lucky. ill pass this info. on to him.

I was at Bobby Allway's (of Speedstarfame) shop in Knoxville a couple of years ago. They were finishing out a Minotti's 34 body for a customer. The gent doing the prep work told me the extra cost of a Minotti body was more than offset by the amount of time they saved getting one ready for paint.
