This new article isn't exactly a "how to", but it does show ~50 large color photos of design and construction details, with captions and a detailed specifications/features list: John McCue's 1972 MG Midget Race Car

Check it out!

Here are a couple example photos:

This is about as fast as a vintage Midget as you're going to find. I can only think of two other Midgets/Sprites that run SVRA that are in the same league performance wise.

And a reminder of why I shouldn't race vintage.
