Body stripped to BARE metal, and finished in brilliant metallic blue. Helms was the Fiat Service Rep in the SouthWest, and originally built this car to be a very competitive Fiat Named " Patience" by John, this car was raced since new and is one of the most solid Fiat Spiders we have seen, as shown in the pictures of the SOLID rocker sills.
