Midget update:
I had to mount a new hood this week on the Midget (the painter didn't like the old one - too many stress cracks from my little "flying" accident). My painter had the rest of the car blocked down and ready for paint. He said it would be ready this weekend.
I'll have a lot to do in the next 2 weeks to get it ready for Import Carlisle (old imports and kit cars). Whole car needs to be wired with new harness - some mods needed. All plumbing needs to be refitted, dash wired up (mkoch1's C/F work is AWESOME!), fuel cell and pumps mounted, new console fitted and wired, front suspension finished and installed, new flywheel and clutch installed and motor/trans installed with all the extras.
I'm lucky the car is not as complicated as some, but it will still be enough to do. Say a prayer that my SP 13B starts up and runs OK since sitting for 1.5 years with MMO and ATF in her.
I'm gong to wait untill she is all together to post pics. No sneak peaks unless you stop by to help turn a wrench

Depends what you want to see. If you want to see the Can-AM, PM mkoch1 - it is back in his hands. He plans to have it on display at Carlisle weather permitting on 5/22.
