Hot Rods ....."Minor Dis-Traction".....

YEEEEEeeeeeee HAAAAAaaaaaaaaa


ITS GOT THE LOOK

Shrapnel

 

How hard would it be to stretch the sheetmetal between the back end of the front fender and the firewall, then stretch the frame the required 6" to fit within the gasser classes?

 

Here's a couple:

 

SON!! Yer killin' me!

 

Man! that looks tough!!

 

My Uncle had a Morris Minor drag car called the "Minor Offense".... I have more pictures at home.

The little dude is ME!!! Ha! I've been corrupted since birth!!

 

lovin this look a lot any chance of a couple close up pics of the front axle as i am building a 100e with the same parts hairpins etc.

 

I like it! Wheelbase is too short to be
an actual gasser, but 'back in day' the
86 inch wheelbase would have been
ok in the altered classes. Maybe build
it around that theme - as a circa
mid-60's altered. Whatever you do
with it, it'll be a handful to drive and
scary.....but FUN!!!

Goztrider that is an idea.

Thanks for the photoshop letters...awesome.

Randy I new you would like it.

Mart I think you are right.

 

Screw the SBF or the SBC for that matter. Put in some real 60's muscle and have way more fun than any one person should be aloud to have.


Good Luck and Post pics when it is done.

 

I'm pretty sure Gassers had to run the original stock wheelbase

Dang!.., now I need a cigarette!

 

What the hell Skip, now you're killing ME...lol
I looked at the ad and thought it was a good price with those wheels, congrats on the nose bleed buddy.

 

----------------------------------
Too cool! I love it! Can you say "Wheelstander!",
"Guardrail Glider!" and "Quarter-mile FUN,
FUN, FUN!", boys and girls???

Guys on here are gonna hate that....WAY too functional...

 

He's got THAT right. These short guys with high fronts...First 1/8th is just pullin' away, but by the traps I get the 'floatin' feelin'.

 

LilMo... ha, I know the feeling... I lifted @ the 1000' cause I got scared..I still went through the lights at 10.40 @ 119 the gear slowed me down that much.. but it was fun... are you able to make the HAMB drags this year ?? I'll be there..

We need a pic posted of jangleguy's for reference.

 

Haha that car makes me giggle. Skip, you sure do have alot of fun with your vehicles. Cool project man... I say go with the 327.

 

RRR-can't make the HAMB drags, damn job. R. Shifter, that is a great looking little beast. Load it up with whatever you want, or can get, and let 'er rip. Lovin' the hairpins.
Street and strip, or race only?

 

I'm feeling that!!

 

I am not a gasser person myself so I can not be of much help here. I do like the idea of the 327 though. Could go like the one in the picture I attached.

 

wow tuff looking minor!

 

First time I saw a car pull a wheelie was in a Canada Day parade back in about 1966, the guy stopped right in front of where I was standing watching. He let the parade get a little bit ahead, then he floored it and dumped the clutch and the rear tires smoked and the front wheels came up a couple of feet. It was a purple Morris Minor on a shortened 56 olds frame with a rocket and a stick.

 

Whatever became of this car?
@Royalshifter

 

yup would be interested to see if finished? i have a morris minor lowlight 1950 project i think i want to build a gasser now after seeing this! damn those wheels look amazing.

 

If you stretch wheel base it's not a Gasser it's an Altered. Gasser is stock suspension.

Sounds familiar, I was 15 years old when I saw a wheelie for the first time (on the street).
1969, older guy that would become a good friend a few years later had a car built a lot like this Morris. Street car, a Lloyd Alexander sedan (German), had a small block Chevy/4 speed, beam axle, big/little Ansens, nose up in the air, boy was that a short little car.
I'll never forget that experience, thanks Bob, RIP.

 

who said anything about stretching the wheelbase?

Morris minor stock suspension won't be able to take the weight of a v8.

ok so maybe a "Gasser/Altered" then...

I was referring to the look buddy.
