Fiberglass body M151s

Unread post by Horst » January 3rd, 2021, 9:38 am

As it is right now pretty quiet, too cold to work on something and thanks to Covid nobody wants to travel anywhere, so work is light, I was browsing the web a little.
Checked if Mutt Perini in Italy still exists, no final answer but could well be. Looking at their old, unmaintained web site, I realized that they did build fiberglass bodies on top of a re-constructed M151 platform frame back in the day. Check it out at http://www.muttperini.com/civili.asp, enjoy :)

I confirm Perini still exists , he continue his works on m151 , he has one of the larger used part store in europe.

He built fiberglass chassis for m151 , there are some pering fiberglass truck still going around along italian streets.

I have been at his newer warehouse years ago. He has a reputation for rebuilding parts by putting a fresh coat of paint over them (and not more than that...).

I have also bought some things from Perini, he is well known in Europe, although his website ... leaves much to be desired
