My car was featured in July 2000, but it's been completely
rebuilt since then to the extent that only the body and hood
remain...I've even changed the chassi and windshield. Here's
some details...
Body: Meyers Manx II in Tangerine gel-coat.
Chassis: Ball joint/ swing-axle pan shortened 14 1/2", front
axle softened by removing thin torsion leaves; Boge oil dampers
and '67 drum brakes. 1300 gearbox at rear with short axle
shafts and early Type 3 5-lug drum brakes. JSC coil-over dampers.
Engine: 1679cc dual port with Engle W110 cam, EMPI-Kadron
dual 40 carbs, lightened flywheel, chrome tin and single quiet
exhaust by Tri-Mill.
Interior: Glass bucket seats with slip-on covers and matching
rear, Superior Enos 500 wood-rimmed wheel, EMPI E-Z-R shifter,
wood knobs and e-brake handle by Cal-Custom, SunPro Tach,
Meyers Manx roll-bar.
Wheels & Tires: 8 1/2"x15" and 6"x14" Appliance Dishmag wheels
with 255/70x15 and 195/60x14 BFG tires mounted using Cal-Custom
aluminum adapters.
All work including chassis welding, wiring, engine building
etc. was carried out by myself.
