One of my neighbors is working on a Metro for his daughter, He pointed out that the doors are identical side to side. He reversed them and created suicide doors which look pretty cool. He has 14" chrome wire wheels from an MGB that look almost as weird as those in the photos,
Imagine making a fiberglass Metro, on a Vette, Camaro, or Mustang chassis... they are already pretty well set for racing (Optima Challenge style), and with a lightweight fiberglass body... power to weight ratio goes up, center of gravity goes down
Waay back in 1965...or so I had a neighbor who made one like that. He is 5 yrs older than me. I did get a ride in his 57 Bel-Air after he took it form his mom and put the blown chev mill in it... Zooooooooooooooooooooom!

ReplyDeleteNow THAT would win a Ridler in my book!
ReplyDeleteNot how sure how old this build is but it could have easily been a build in Disney's Pixar Cars movies. It just needs a couple of eye's and a mouth!
ReplyDeleteFollow up.... which were pretty much already there! Awww or augh? The perils of alcohol! Hahaha
ReplyDeletethought about dropping a metro on a miata or corvette frame
ReplyDeletean old metro would make a nice 24 hours of lemons car
