I think I've seen this a couple times when I'm just looking around for sprite pictures. I can't wait to paint mine the same way (this is a very distant day however) with that hood. You have to admit that the jag hood lines are beautiful.

However, I'd like see him take a tape measure to the drivers foot well, specifically measuring between the right side of the tunnel to the drivers door. I don't know if I could even fit my legs in that space, it just looks so small.

For this comment to make sense, y'all need to know that I'm a preacher in my other life and you will never hear a sermon from these lips on "Thou shall not covet" as long as that car is on the road. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/angel.gif

Pretty amazing job--but I wonder how anyone can drive it. The new transmission tunnel seems to go where your right leg has to fit. But, maybe for someone with two left legs...

I've seen that car in person a few times, it's pretty amazing! I hope to see it again this weekend at my club's show.

I've spoken to this guy and he is really nice. He hinted that he had a couple of jag engines if I wanted one in my Midget.
Sure, I ~want~ one, but didn't ask how much.

/bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/iagree.gif Especially since the seats had to move forward too for that new rear suspension setup!!! /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/eek.gif

Maybe he is a <span style='font-size: 14pt'><span style="color: #FF0000"><u>real</u></span></span> "midget" owner /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/jester.gif

Makes me feel a lot better with everything I've done. There is somebody a little more off into the land of the exotic. I can't imagine how it would handle.
