Mine and a buddies "Mini-Rods"......

 

These are some of my mini '37 Ford Flatbacks

 

up date on the building of my 1960 cushman truckster.
mocked it up useing the the a 8 3/4 mopar rearend with 3:70 gears, i8.5 M/T street legal tires and with all the measurements done the tires clear the bed by 3" and give me a 75" width side to side. plenty room for the 750cc, l was surprised at how much room in the engine bay of the cushman.
been sandblasted and now doing body work, still will have no rear fenders. l will do a thread on it when l have more progress to report.


also my other mini- hot rod, a1931 chevy dwarf car thats street legal. do a search and all the info's on line.

later

 

G'day from Australia,

I have spent the last 3 years building a 41 Willys Mini Rod (1/3 Scale) I have finally finished it and am now going into production of these beaut little cars. I offer the traditional coupe as well as a roadster. I will post some photos as soon as possible for you guys.

Cheers Tezza.

 

nice

 

what about using the starter/alternator from a lawn mower?

 

hey I remember someone on here knows the people in Cali who have the street legal bumper cars, put them in touch with this guy!! I'll bet they have a ton of useful info.

 

Thanks alot guys, this sight is a plethora of info, dont worry mightym1dget I was just giving you a hard time, all is well!

 

Just bought 16 or so feet of thick wall 1 by 2 steel stock! Time to get this baby rolling for real! Ive settle on a design finally! Its going to be a single seat cycle car! The T thing and mini 32 were overly fanciful for me, I want something I could stretch my creative thoughts on to.

 

When looking at another thread about cyclecars I came across this photo of the IMP cyclecar factory. I became really awestruck of the coolness factor of the panel truck in the back ground.



Ive decided that Im going to use that as the basis of the design for my little car. Heres a quick sketch I made. What do you guys think.

 

Come on! No input on it from anyone? I find that strange, especially here on the hamb!

 

Not changing the bolt pattern at all. I hope to use small motor cycle wire wheels, about 17 inches

Who makes the white and purple ones above? They look very nice, I'm wondering how they power the rear wheels? What engine is that? A Vert. lawn mower engine?

 

Get the wheels figured out early, so you will be able to set ride height. I like the C cab idea, it will keep the sun off you, but might be a huge wind-catcher?

 

holy crap, i LOVE that c-cab panel truck

 

Wow! I love that C cab version of the Imp cyclecar. I hadn't seen one of those before.
Any updates on the Cushman project?

Here is a close look at the new one. Almost finished....

You now sit in the bucket instead of the bed. For heavier people and tall people easier to sit in them.

Made some really cool fenders for some of them!!!!

But the in thing is to make it look like a rat rod!!! The entire car will be just like this!!! Very cool!!!!
