What a shop !!! How many projects do you have going on ??
Mark has about a Billion projects at this time -- some on a faster track than others LOL -- currently a Henry J is on the fast track Is that a King Midget in the background?
I think you are looking at the Isetta -- about what time frame is it your looking at??? And what brand, or who made them?
P-
I got them from the guys at CarCraft in Riverside CA -- they hooked me and they were very nice pieces -- I was really happy with them and never asked who made them Here is the Henry J -- Mark does great work -- before and after [ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ] [ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ] Crap Frenchy -- sorry for the hijack |

Once we have the rear suspension figured out we will measure the lenght of the axles and have them cut and sleeved for extra strenght.

Eric is working on the NSU a little bit at the time they just had a baby girl back in December 2011 and Eric is taking care of the family soon he will be getting back to the NSU. The engine is all build and the wheels are ready to go once I have the car home.

That is a nifty project you have there.
I do not believe that I have ever seen these cars before.
It will be fun to watch evolve when you get it home.

Yeah it's a Crofton Bug...Made back in the early sixties...With Flotation tires. they could be. used for Colf course work..When we were at the The Navahoe or PIE freight terminal picking up machine shop stuff, in Denver, Just happened to be right at the dock where a big ass wooden crate was sitting... Couple of guys showed up from the Golf Course with a light green Chevy pickup with adark green golfer silhouette, opened the crate, fiddled abit, fired it up and put acouple planks down on drove it right up into a standard longbed Chevy..apache..found out later it was based on the Farm-O crosley.. |

The blue sounds good, I think a bright color will suit a smaller car.

Well this friend who was working on the NSU does not have the time to finish this project they just had a baby girl back in December of 2011. I am now looking if someone here would like to take this project otherwise I will go ahead and do it myself after I have the 29 Hot Road well ahead of completion. My problem is the space in the garage to work on it. We are looking to be moving from where we are to another city near by and making shure that the next house will have property with a shop that will be big enough if not we will be adding.
