My brother picker this up a few months ago, he plans on building a hot four banger, Ford2300, Honda, maybe a British mill.......................Just a thought.
Maybe a Gasser style street car,
You have a great start......................Good luck.

+1 on a gasser...

 

[LordMaximo]

Looks great for a descent street rod.......I think maybe 3" to 4" off the top and a gental slope to the back would add some fast to the look.
Just my opinion

I always thought these were cool looking little cars. Here are a couple ideas....

 

[gassersgarage]

Cool car. There was one running around Pasadena in the 70's. Roller cammed SBC, 4 speed and a straight axle.

 

[RoddingRon]

I love the chop top brown one above. Guess my vote would be to cram a small block in it with a posi rear, and drive the heck out of it

 

[bob w]

A young fella in town has one with a big block Chevy in it. Straight axle and nose high stance. He drives it a lot, so don't hold back when building yours!

 

[rust lover]

cool find

gasser for sure

led sled

seems like every one makes gassers out of those, i say make it a small led sled, flat black, red and white pin stripping, lake pipes.

If your going to be working on the Minor, sell me the cab in the pic. I need a new project......

 

[hi-roller]

Wow, biggles hasnt responded yet
Straight axle, some type of blower, and in the "colour" British Racing.

Peace out

I'm thinking that there is a chop top section on them in the tex smith book''how to chop tops!''
Lots of potintial there on that one,i would vote for the gasser version also,but i would love to see a thread on you chopping and lowwering that too!
But then again i'm always looking for a reason to chop some thing!

 

[dyce51]

I still say it, like on the other site...lift the front of it and go gasser with it!!! That would look great!!

I'd be more in favor of a daily driver type car, nice running 4 banger, some decent suspension and moderate lowering, chop if it doesn't loose in the usefulness dept. Maybe light custom like frenched and shave but not an assdragger

 

[rustywrench]

wow, awesome reaction to this little car. i like alot of the ideas posted too. the lead sled look is out, i dont care for it. daily driver with a 4 banger is one i'd already considered and still like. the gasser look i think is the best. this little car deserves it. however i will not make it a true drag car. no way i'm driving a 90 inch wheelbase car at speed. especially one with the front high in the air. however as a street ride the look would be cool. oh i meant to mention what i paid for it.....a used chevy small block edelbrock performer manifold. not kidding. a 50 dollar manifold. one more thing, if i intend to actually drive it a top chop is out of the question. at 6'4 tall i barely fit in it now.

 

[Willowbilly3]

I like the gasser look too but it is more of a weekend cruise/toy then. If I had a stable of cars I would maybe have a gasser clone and this would be a good one.
