Jeff:
I have a 1968 Midget that I didn't feel comfortable going over about 55
mph in because of the vibrations. Then I bought a 78 Midget that had
been completely restored (except for the engine) and have taken two
trips to shows (400 and 500 miles round trip) and I drove 65-75 mph on
each trip with no problems.
After that, I decided to start rebuilding the front end on my '68 to
make me feel more secure.
