Modified Morris Minors, gotta love em!

I am a proud Morris minor owner and I love to see all the photos of modified minors that this site has to offer, but it takes a long time to hunt them all down. Help me bring all the modified minors to this thread .
He is my 66' gasser, his name is "Chuck Morris". It's funny, when I built it I had no idea that there were so many modified minors out there(i had never seen one) But I was stupid to think I was the only morris minor lover hahaha... I especially love the photo's from way way back...

 

heres some more i found on the hamb

 

in the United Kingdom there are a lot Minors powered with Rover V-8, Fiat twincams, Alfa Romeo twincams and every kind of engine you can think off.
Try a look on www.nsra.org.uk

 

I really like the 60's drag strip minors. It's cool to see the old photos that people dig up

 

Sorry I do not have any pics I can post up but they are cool vehicles. I have a truck I am wanting to build ass soon as I can get a good title in my name for it.

 

heres some more, all pics from other threads

 

I love your car man....what's the deal with the other one?

 

I found your pickup on myspace. you wanna sell it I always wanted to build a morris pickup strictly for drag racing use

 

We started to build another one, but as soon as word got out about it a friend had to have it. I believe the car is back east somewhere now.

 

i just got one of these....
lexman did you build a full frame for yours??? got any more pics???

 

Yes, my car has a full custom chassis, and we recently added a full roll cage so I could start running faster et's. Man I have pictures up the wazoo. Let me know what you wanna see.

 

I saw your gasser 55's. Do you plan to gasser the moggie?

 

Sorry it is not for sale. I only paid $200 for it. No engine and trans, no bed and no title. Once I can get a title I am going to start on it.

 

Oh man, I wish I was in your shoes. Thats exactly what I want. I want to build a custom bed for mine if I can come across one. And of course it would have a very large motor hahahaha... Good luck to you with that one, dont let it go to waste

 

here's my wife's '58. She just paiinted the scallops, but they're only temporary

 

im thinking of making a gasser but dont want it to sit to high in the air.....
i got a 455 olds i want to use in it...

 

Awesome. I have never run a 455, but I had a 400 pontiac with cam and headwork, and I swear it was untouchable on the street. Sounds like fun

 

Hi Lexman,
I've posted these pics before, but, being an idiot, I can't find them, so here they are again. I'm building this for my wife Irene. It has a 273 Chrysler and autobox, 10bolt rear and a modified Triumph Vitesse front end. It now has a carson top as we live in a very windy place. Soft tops don't seal so well. The rear has been couped and every panel has been altered. IS IT STILL A MINOR????













Charlie!!

 

I'm in his shoes...

I have a moggy ute waiting in the wings for some special treatment..

I remember seeing "Morris Major" taking out the finish line lites in a barrel roll at Bremerton, Wa back in the early '80s or so. Took a few trucks to haul it back.

heres mine, straight axle, 9" , big engine setback , 472 caddie , may need to sell due to finish my other project.

 

lexman,

Do you have any more info on this one? I'm lovin' the roof line!

 

Hey truxdelux, keep up the good work, it will be a very nice ride.

 

man that is beautiful. You will regret selling this one

 

I dont know anything about it, i just found it here on the site. but I agree it looks pretty amazing.

 

There's some pix of mine around here somewhere. Sorry, but I can't post pix. I'm lovin' all of these! Lexman, a shot of your blue/gray one was on the shop wall for a long time - inspired me...
Thanks for posting all of these, you guys.
Scotty

 

now you are just teasing me

 

Man is that cool. Any more pics???

 

I dug up a few more photos from a really old thread. I deffinately like the bed on the maroon ute better than the factory style on the teal one.

 

There is a very cool video of a blown morris minor spanking a R1 streetbike.
Go to streetfire.net click on videos and search "R1 vs. morris minor" . You have to check it out.
