V8 Midget

Saw this browsing on Craigslist. I was surprised it all fit without flares, scoops etc.

Incredible! Well done.
Notice the Pontiac rear wheels that nearly match the rostyle wheels.
I don't like the shifter.

There is a bulge in the bonnet, but yes it fits. Looks like it might be a bit tight on leg room too.

I'd like to see the shoe-horn he use for THAT!!

 

[Guest]

nice.

 

[RickB]

Looks good, but he doesn't mention any brake upgrades.
Goes way too fast for me...
The Judge said I can't speed anymore. :frown:

 

[blkcorvair]

just looking at the stock front wheels makes me leary of all that weight and power pushed threw a stock front suspension

 

[healeyboz]

Yeah, but it would be a lot of fun until it fell/shook apart!

 

[healeyboz]

Shoot, on second thought, I would probably end up doing a lot more damage running into something without it being able to steer; WAY before it shook apart.

Oh man, all I want is 15 min with that.

With a 350 V8 and auto transmission and a 7 gallon gas tank you would have to fight the wheel every time you passed a gas station to keep it from wanting to pull in :wink:

 

[bugimike]

Excellent point Kim!! Lets see...assuming mileage at, say, 15 mpg, you would have a 105 mile range!! :eeek:

 

[Baz]

Yes Mike, but it gets there in 12 minutes.

 

[Tullamore]

Man, if that were chrome bumpers and closer to me I would be buying it.

 

[jlaird]

Why heck you could drive it home in 2 hours and 54 min. LOL

 

[rlwhitetr3b]

Does that include gas stops?

 

[jlaird]

No gas stops. Accelerate half way and deaccelerate half way. You know, like a rocket ship.

IF you decided to maul a Midget or Sprite and put a big power plant in it, the best way would be to make the car BONE stock looking!

A 200 BHP Spridget! What a sleeper! Boy, could you raise some eyebrows at stop lights on a Friday night!
