RIP Bruce
I had a Myers Manx 1968 gel-coat metal flake green
(early 80's) got the body/kit, rollbar, seats, windshield frame, peddles, shifter
second hand & was never installed
VW bug chassis/pan, shortened 10" IIRC custom swingarms,
a 73 1600 dual-port engine, with a Judson Vein belt-driven SC/blower,
thru a down draft Webber, extractor/header exhaust/stinger,
scat distributor & alum deg.'d hub etc.
lil' stuff more than doubled the HP to about 170-180
That thing was
fun as you can imagine
(wish I had photos)
big ol' N50/15's on 15x10 slots on the rear & G/60's upfront
all under the body, sitting sort of low
beat a lot of 60's era muscle car too, fast out of the hole
it'd stick & get, pissed off a few people
be 3-4 lengths out on them, but topped out at like 98mph
you didn't really want to go too much faster,
short wheelbase & light
it was fun offroad too,
if it wasn't too technical
also made it up to Spider Lake on the Rubicon Trail
too much father it was too tech. too big of rocks
thanks for all the great memories Bruce
