[Spridgets] Rick's old exhaust

[Rick Fisk]

Hi Chuck,

The rack on my car is a LHD Morris Minor unit which gives me a RHD Bugeye.  The tie rod end is a Heim joint spaced down to correct for bump steer after lowering the front of the car.  Other non standard parts in that photo are the Carella tube shocks and the brake cooling ducts.  It also has Carellas on the rear with 3 leaf offset springs and a Watts link setup.

The rescue , preservation and resurrection of this Midget has been one incredibly interesting job of forensic " what the heck is that thing" & " OMG! What were they thinking?"!!!!!   Mechanically it is a completely difrent car now.   ( thankfully from a safety point of view).
