Hi Stuart
Welcome over!! the Morris looks to be in amazingly good nick, and I can see why you were tempted by the 6/90 - real style!!! I'd be interested to feature the 6/90 in the Your Cars (http://www.oldclassiccar.co.uk/stories.htm) bit on the main site if possible??? all I'd need is a brief writeup (how you found it, why you bought it etc) and you could include a list of spares Wants in too. Might work - never know!??!?!!
cheers
Rick. |

I knew I'd seen your Isis somewhere before, Malvern a year or two back?

Welcome Stuart
Very nice Morris, the 2-tone paint is a real eye catcher!
I like the lines on your Wolseley. I could see that being done in a 2-tone scheme also. |

I´m not very knowledgable able Midget racers, I guess there aren´t very many in Europe that are, but isn´t that a Curtis style midget? |
Hi Joe
I bought the Chevy just as you see it. It came from the Elingson Car Museum in Minnesota where they sell classic cars as a sideline.
I bought the car a year ago and since then have had the trans rebuilt, did some minor engine mods, replaced some old parts, etc.
I'm still in the process of making more improvements.
Here's an image of the engine compartment when we bought it. I'll post another later showing the updates.
The TQ nose and tail are very similar to the Kurtis Kraft Midget but slightly smaller. The hood and cowl area is very different though.
Rick added it to his site a couple years ago but I haven't done anything to it this past summer. I really need to update the progress since a lot of what we have done has been changed again.
