anyone know where i can see any mg midget rods, one of my friends said he seen a midget fixed like a g***er. im hinking about building a midget, with no front fenders or hood, with a straight axle up front, the tires and wheels out beside the car, and slammed. what do you all think!
Curious though. How are you going to "slam" a midget with a stright front axle? Anyone have a pic of a "slammed" g***er? I don't know if I've ever seen one.
Look up Compe***ion Coupe. Basically, an abreviated small Coupe body,Topolino, Metropolitan etc. mounted on a Front Engine Dragster. Put the accessory removable hard top on the Spridget.
I think you're delusional, and you need to forget about screwing up a perfectly good midget. Go get a real car to screw with.
Somewhere I saw a picture of an old MGA roadster done up as a g***er and it looked horrible, it was like some freakish cartoon but if that's what you are going for then do it and post some pic's when your done.
One of the scariest rides I've ever had was in a beat-up old midget with a 327 4 speed. He hit 4th gear at close to 100 and it went ***-out. Sliding off the road at that speed in a little ****-box like that....well, let's just say I'm surprised I left the scene with clean underwear.
Anybody ever try shoehorning a mid 60's GM V-6 into a MG Midget? Reason I ask is because I have an extra 1965 Olds 225 V-6 with automatic and there is a cheap MG Midget available near me, that is missing its drivetrain. Worth messing with?
I think the kid's thinking about that bug eye Sprite that was cloned for someone's dad last year. It's a cool car.
G***er sounds a bit odd, but I do have a Sunbeam with a Ford 2.8l Cologne 6 banger in it. Works great.
There is an old bugeye sprite (basically the same as a midget) built as a g***er on here somewhere. looked kind of wild. You might try to find it!
Was this the bugeye you were talking about? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=324405&d=1182567876
frogrod, I have one in my shop right now,I'm finishing it up for a customer that doesn't have the time. It has a mild 60 deg V-6 in it (2.8) holley 4bbl. and etc. 200r4 trans. But its being done as a road race type car. The engine is a tight fit but not bad. If you want any pictures p.m. me. Norman Normal
Check out "The Zombie" Compe***ion Coupe at this site. http://www.nitrogeezers.com/JD Zink _Steven Justice.htm I don't know if "foreign" bodys are allowed but it looks close to a HAMB dragster setup...
Don't have any pics, but around 77', theres was one running around the San Fernando Valley. It had a tunnel rammed sbc, ran 10's.
thats the one i was telling him about,,i think it was orange and faded...looked wicked,,might of had a 409 or 348...
thats it,,i was calling it a austn healy when i told frogrod about it,,, guys,,Frogrod is a cool young kid just wanting to build something really bad,but he wants to do something diffferent,,
I remember a little Crosley(?)with a straight axle mounted in front of the car, and a small block stuffed in it. There was much discussion here about it.
