I'll be real disapointed if this is someone from the list because this has to be the most absolute stupid idiot engine swap in the whole world. In case the 1500 Midget guys get me wrong the engine is
Not to mention the hideous looking interior...! Yet, four different people have bid on it and it is over reserve. Still, it's a rust free one and much of it can probably be corrected if desired by th

With all respect, this is a point that many people overlook when surveying a Spridget. The most important thing is the integrity of the body/chassis. Mechanical items that one feels should be changed

I know that many list members have done major changes to improve the reliability of their 1500. What do you think the chances are that the "improved" Bugeye has that type of engine. I personally doub

I'm frankly disappointed in the lack of respect for someones apparant enthusiasm for this car. As several have pointed out, it would have been easier and better to put a 1275 in. Why do you suppose h
That would be me; I've been a mite quiet as I finished up my JD ('02), and have been preparing for the bar exam at the end o' July. I am not familiar with the car, although I suspect that it is one I

You may be right, however, given all the erroneous decisions, poor taste and ignorance that is obvious, it raises a BIG question in my mind as to how much of the work that can NOT be seen was done a
