Kerry: Definitely Austin Healey Sprite/MG Midget. Rollup window model. Here is a photo that I just took of my stack of windscreens. Ther are also a few side curtain model windscreens in there as well. I did race them for a while back in the late 60's to early seventies. I bought a bunch of cars for pieces parts back then. I also had/have one that I made up a turbo setup back in 1975 for a wild street ride.

Yep, the two in the back are them. Bugeye???? or later???
I've got the curved top and bottom bits if you need them. Btw, the color is most likely going to be the sequoia cream on the bottom of this page (39 Chrysler color) http://www.tcpglobal.com/aclchip.asp...ysler-pg01.jpg

Kerry: Later roll-up window cars. I am guessing here, '64 and later Sprite or Midget. The Bugeye and '62-'63 were side curtain windows and the windshield frame bolted to the surface of the body. No post like the one that you have.
Still thinking about the years. It may be as late as '66-'67 when the roll-up windows came along. When the 1275cc engine was introduced. I used to know all of this stuff. It was only forty something years ago. |

Kerry, Your tires fit the wheel openings perfectly giving the car a very aggressive look. It makes me think of the 427 Cobras --- a lot of tire showing. Do you plan to roll under the lower edge of the front fender skirts ? I wouldn’t do it as much as the rear fenders but a small amount of roll would help carry the theme / style you have with the rear fenders & the front of the front fender, at least in my eyes . ~ John Buchtenkirch

I hadn't thought about rolling in the front similar to the rears but will. That might look nice!

Yeah, wheels and final tires are in process. I'd like wires but they are pricey. Looking... Anyone know if C4 Corvettes came with 15" wheels? I think so...??

Wire wheels pricey? What kind or brand you lookin at? If your lookin at Daytons , yup pricey, but other brands are very reasonabley priced. You might be lookin in the wrong place.
