Yeah, I much prefer that primer-coloured Frog. That engine looks like a Triumph six (TR6, GT6,etc).
That first V8 car isn't even really a Spridget in my view.
It has become fairly common to see "rats" at local cruise night around here. We'll probably see some at the thing we're going to tonight.
I'm partial to inline sixes in these types of cars.
One of my students built a bucket-T rat with a 216 Chevy six. he was hoping to make it to the
~Jalopy Showdown~ in PA, but he couldn't get the brakes worked out in time.
I consider my recently-built
~948 RWA Midget~ a "rat" because it's roller painted and built from all my scrap parts.......but it's not even close to being ratty compared to some of the stuff I see.
